The virtual retinal display (VRD) by Human Interface Technology Laboratory is a heads on display with no screen. The device burns a video image onto your eyeball with a laser beam . Sounds painful right? It's harmless. The VRD will be geared towards to cellphone & hand held device users -- so you could possibly be browsing a website with full browser size from your handset.
Inside the engine, a tiny laser diode produces the beam while a microscopic mirror reflects it. Tiny actuators - -fabricated the same way microchips are manufactured -- steer the mirror, sweeping the beam across your retina at incredibly high speeds to produce what appears to be a solid image.
The Nomad displays images in bright red.
