Optical Technology Projects Images Directly Into The Eye
...) makes it possible to project the virtual reality simulated by a computerin a very realistic way. The picture quality is much better than that on a computer screen. The laser light used is five thousand timesless strong than the critical limit for the eye and is therefore not in any way dangerous.
