i'm working on vrd (virtual retinal display) systems.. In this, an image is raster scanned onto the retina of the eye. as simple as it is.. In a tv set, there is an electron beam that is being directed in both horizontal and vertical axes with the help of electric field scanners in both directions and then the directed beam strikes the screen. Similar to this concept is the virtual retinal displays. Just replace the electron beam with a miniature low power, low intensity laser, the electric field scanner is replaced with a MEMS(Micro Electro Mechanical Scanner) and the screen is simply replaced with the retina of the human...
i hope, now u understand the complexity of the project...
now, this so happens that this technology had been invented and much researched upon at the human interface technology(HIT) lab at the University of Washington, Seattle and manufactured as a marketable unit by Microvision Corp.
my aim is to develop a workable, feasible, implementable workspace environment that has three modes of operation viz. fully immersive, partially immersive and augmented reality. And then extend the technology to have user - interaction with the image..
This all translates to having a virtual screen suspended in thin air in front of the user and visible only to the user, in which a computer, a phone, a mp3 player, and all sorts of electronic gadgets can be integrated into one hardware.
The future of my project can be the integration of cloud computing along with my project so that display devices are eliminated and processing power can be reduced manifold.
finally, i may be very bad at explaining, but still ... if u have any doubts.. ask....!
