Kim and all, "yet another brick in the huge, nice and well designed wall MVIS is building" The following is an excerpt from (a free service) KIRO Radio News Fax, Seattle. The Fax was out before today's Ericsson/Saab Avionics announcement was made. I'm posting it because it's good to see the company get some public recognition and it may be helpful to any newcomers who might be reading this thread. New Technology on the Horizon Instead of sitting in an audience and viewing a presentation projected on a screen, how about wearing a device that scans images onto the retina of a viewer's eye? Microvision Inc. of Seattle is betting that its virtual retinal display technology will transform the business of displaying visual information. The company forsees widespread applications from defense and public safety to consumer electronics and entertainment. It intends to apply its technology to developing affordable, lightweight personal displays that could be worn on the head or hand held. Users wearing eyeglasses, goggles or helmets outfitted with the technology would have their hands free and the mobility to receive training or other information on the job site or wherever they are. The technology also will be introduced into cellular phones and pagers to enable indidviduals to view e-mail, Web pages and faxes. Under the technology, a device scans an electronically encoded beam from a computer, video camera or other video output through the human eye's pupil to the retina. The technology uses a very low light source that conveys one pixel at a time that isn't harmful to the eye. Scanners create the image on the eye by moving the light source across and down the retina. The user believes he's seeing a video image an arm's length away.
