Retinal Display System Makes HUD Glasses Obsolete

Retinal Display System

Today’s personal media player’s, or PMPs, screens are too small. Even worse is the solution: bulky glasses with embedded screens (aka head mounted displays) that obstructs the user’s vision. Brother’s solution is a small and light weight attachment that can be fitted to any pair of glasses, which ‘irradiates low-intensity light’ on to the retina Ultimately, the retina is the display and a result it doesn’t completely obstruct vision. Don’t expect this retinal imager until 2010, though.

Grew up back East, got sick of the cold and headed West. Since I was small I have been pushing buttons - both electronic and human. With an insatiable need for tech I thought "why not start a blog focusing on technology, and use my dislikes and likes to post on gadgets."

    Hi I was wondering, I have some sweeling on the nerves in my eyes, so I cannot see well enough to drive, Iw as wondering if this techonolgy is avaiable for my glasses to produce a virtual H.U.D. that would detect oncoming objects. Any derection or advice on where to start a idea like this or if it has been done who to contact would be great thanks.

    Mega-cool. I wonder how long it will be until this is an unnoticeable micro-chip in the glasses frame or even an implant? This can lead to major improvements for the vision-impaired. Good on ya, mates!
