Its a few months old but i was wondering if anyone knew anything about this?

Viable? A threat to occulus rift? It certainly sounds interesting, but most "stories" like this do. (Comes off a little paid for).

It would be a threat to Google Glass had the Google not bought them. I liked the projecting-in-the-retina part. Sounds very promising. Bad post title by the way.

Your right about the title, i should have just gone with the storys title and left it at that.

The technology - shooting lasers into the eye to focus an image on the retina - has been around for a while.

I think it's languishing in patent-encumbered hell at the moment. There used to be videos showing soldiers using it as a HUD-style visual aid.

Thanks for the links, an interesting read!
