Popis: Virtual Retinal Display (VRD) is an advanced technology for creating visual images. Dr. Thomas A. Furness III created it at the Human Interface Technology Laboratory (HIT Lab). Low power laser light is directly scanned onto the retina by the VRD to produce images. Bright, high-contrast, high-resolution photos are produced with this unique technique. It has been shown that all the technological advancements needed have been made in order for small, laser-scanned, virtual retinal displays to operate effectively. Since several years ago, military and commercial customers have received prototype devices with VGA resolutions (640 x 480 pixels), and Microvision's Virtual Retinal DisplayTM (VRDTM) is now ready for accelerated performance expansion. VRD images often use 300 nanowatts or less. Additionally, VRD images can be easily seen when placed on ambient room lighting.
