Laser Powered Virtual Display

Posted by michael on from the dry-eyes dept.

Tedger writes "The Feature has an article discussing an interesting portable display system developed by the University of Washington. Unlike your traditional mini displays mounted in glasses this system has no display, it is a 'virtual' display created by lasers and microscopic fast moving mirrors. The image is in fact printed onto the retina and has feasibly a infinite resolution. Can anyone say true VR?"

    A CD-ROM laser could hardly hurt your eye

    Not instantly, but because it is IR, by the time you notice anything, the damage has already been done.
    Just because you can't see the laser doesn't mean it sn't dangerous.
