David, I can't remember posts about the resolution figures, only that the VRD resolution -compared to what we think of it in terms of a computer screen- is much higher. Kim

David, As there was no specification beyond "high resolution" in the press release, Ericsson/Saab Avionics, for competitive reasons, may not want that information divulged presently. Whatever the resolution, the VRD display must be impressive. I understand that the comment that they were "very pleased" (press release) was a significant understatement of their true reaction. RF

Resolution is only one aspect. The other aspect is 3-D Virtual Reality as it's easier to visualize an object if it is in 3-D. The October 13,97 issue of the Los Angeles Times had an article on 3-D Virtual Reality. It also talked about Web browsers that support the VRML language for 3-D application.

David, here is the answer to your question about resolution: ==================== August 01, 1997, Windows Magazine Section: News/New Products Who needs a monitor when you can use the naked eye as your screen? Microvision is developing the Virtual Retinal Display (VRD), which works like a monitor except that its scanners draw the image on the retina. The VRD scans at 18 million pixels per second, and your eyes refresh the image 60 times per second. You see the image at a 640x480 resolution through a device you either hold or wear.
