This is a great article and it covers a lot of stuff that I'd wondered about before.
Here's someone doing a (somewhat terrifying) DIY version: https://eclecti.cc/hardware/blinded-by-the-light-diy-retinal-projection https://eclecti.cc/hardware/blinded-by-the-light-diy-retinal...
Virtual Retinal Displays are a pretty old idea, first being demonstrated in 1991. They've been stuck in development for years, so it's good to see them getting some more attention.

- nrp 7y agoThat was me. It’s great to see that the light engine and electronics have been miniaturized to be almost glasses sized. It’s annoying that they are still stuck with the tiny exit pupil I saw in 2012 and HITLab had in the 90’s. I hoped that mass producible pupil replicators would have been ubiquitous by now.
