I first saw Microvisions VRD (Virtual Retinal Display) back in 1997 on Tomorrows World. Back then they were confident that we would all be able to buy home VR console systems etc etc within a couple of years. I waited....and waited..and waited...
Seven years later we have a red monochrome strap-on monstrosity that makes you look like the geeky Borg that the other Borgs tease.
Hurry up with something decent! I want my Sony VR games console, with dataglove now!!
There was a big thing in the mid-nineties about Micropower Impule Radar (MIR). Again this was just a kind of radar on a chip.
It all sounded great but I recently read that the laboratory involved was being investigated for fraudulent claims.
