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?"

    Can laser on your retinas be good for your eyes?

    If the device breaks, and the beam sticks in one place, can't it burn a spot on your retina?
