I am confused that it "paints images directly onto your retina" (presumably, shooting lasers at your eyeball, which sounds unhealthy) and yet the writer was able to take a picture of the image on the glass.
- dubcanada 7y agoIt shoots a laser (well 3) at a film which reflects into your eye. It's a lot less confusing if you read the article lol.
- JRKrause 7y agoThe photo you are referring to is the laser painting directly onto the sensor array of the camera.
- Konnstann 7y agoI was definitely expecting some sort of joke article, but the tech does seem interesting.
- ThrowawayR2 7y agoThe image is being painted onto the camera sensor instead of the retina. Regarding "shooting lasers at your eyeball, which sounds unhealthy", this technology has existed since at least the early '00s. Microvision was showing off their Nomad laser HMD (https://www.google.com/search?q=microvision+nomad https://www.google.com/search?q=microvision+nomad) around 2002 IIRC. It's reasonably well established as safe.
