Intel is developing smart glasses that reflect a monochrome image directly onto the retina of users. For example, notifications can be shown that you receive on your smartphone. The prototype of the... Intel Vaunt - smart glasses that display images directly on your retina
Looks pretty good and natural. No bulky parts on it. Now since this is Intel, I have something to add: You probably will be able to buy it separately for $999.98. That will come in DLC, I guess Any mentions if those glasses require delidding and additional cooling so it doesn't burn users face?
This technology probably will turn into proper virtual reality, because lasers, located close to iris, can paint very large surface on retina therefore cover full field of vision.
There really doesn't have to be a problem with that. Especially since it's monochromatic light it can be red and be quite safe. Plus since it is nearby and collimated to the specific position, it requires very low power. I mean, all the safety norms for laser radiation already exist and have been studied, I would be astonished if intel decided to disregard them.
news report when they are released "several users reported they have lost their eyesight due to smart glasses."
Have asked Intel and they said just put some toothpaste across your nose and behind your ears. Also, quite handily, comes with Meltdown and Spectre built in for full compatibility with Intel CPUs
So let's get this right, folk pay a lot of money so someone can use a laser on their eyes meaning they no longer have to wear glasses, Intel comes along makes you pay a lot of money gives you a device that uses lasers and means you have to wear glasses.
