Description

The Virtual Retinal Display (VRD) is a new display technology that scans modulated low-energy laser light directly onto the viewer’s retina to create a perception of a virtual image. This approach provides an unprecedented way to stream photons to the receptors of the eye, affording higher resolution, increased luminance, and potentially a wider field of view than previously possible in head-coupled displays. (Pryor et al. 1998).
