Does any have any insight into the potential of Microvision's Retinal Display? I'm somewhat enamored with this approach because it would seem to have the potential for the most efficient and high resolution display conceivable. Aside from hardwiring something into the optic nerve you couldn't get more efficient than directly beaming the image on the retina. So what are the downsides? Are there some fundamental limitations with current fabrication methods? Are materials with completely new optical properties required? Are there obvious obstacles to miniturization to the size of an eyeglass clipon? I just want to know if I'm missing something fundamental here. -- Bill Nordstrom University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas ( www.swmed.edu ) 5323 Harry Hines Blvd. Dallas, TX 75390-9039 W:214-648-9227 Fax: 214-648-8694 mailto:"I welcome the arrival of conscious computers because then they will understand my threats." -Bill Nordstrom -- Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" to
