Microvision Virtual Retinal Display
Notes:
�Unlike conventional display technologies (cathode ray tubes, liquid crystal and other flat panel displays) which must create images on an intermediary screen before they can be viewed, Virtual Retinal Display (VRD) technology takes advantage of the human visual system to project electronic information on the eye without the use of a screen of any kind. The device conveys the image by scanning an electronically encoded beam of light through the pupil to the retina, stimulating the receptors on the back of the eye. The user has the impression of viewing a high quality video image an arm's length away.�
