iSight built into your Screen???

[ImNoSuperMan]

Just found out this. Seems really nice n coooooool. Just made me realize why it feels so abnormal while video chatting. Hope it`s not just one of Apple`s many patents which never made it in real world implementation. Here`s a link to full patent filing. Also the idea to use it in moblie phones too sounds nice. No more an ugly lens wud be seen on your phone.

seems like a cool idea. I wonder how much it would cost to actually implement it.

Discussed in this MacBytes article yesterday and in this front page article from January...

It is also one of the proposed technologies in some form of Apple multi touch screen, (rather than a stylus or single finger and touch pad, the image sensors merely recognise the position and movement of fingers).

I dont think this is for a built in iSight, more a built in optical sensor for lighting a laptop display. You know how annoying it is when you get sunlight on your display, with this sensor you can automatically adjust your contrast and intensity to suite.
