Unfortunately, I don't think that could work. At any substantial distance from the eye there would be no way for the beam to paint a panoramic image on the viewer's retina. Still, the concept of eliminating the "movie screen" from the living room is sound. <br><br>When economies of scale permit low cost individual wireless HDTV viewers to be built, every high tech living room could have a basket of MVIS viewers available for family and guests. Users can sit where they want and share the experience with their friends. The host could individually switch the channel on his/her viewer to check the video feed from the front door to see if the pizza has arrived. <br><br>I don't see any reason in principle that half a dozen MVIS viewers would cost any more than people now pay for a huge flat screen display.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064031792202228582.post-23754535674646414332004-12-07T12:42:00.000-08:002004-12-07T12:42:00.000-08:00It's hard to imagine what forms the living roo...It's hard to imagine what forms the living room of the near future might take. <br><br>I like your idea of a basket of eyeglasses. But it is maybe more likely everyone will have one of their own that they'll bring with them. <br><br>It's possible that the first MVIS device in the living room is a wearable display for gaming. No reason that couldn't double as a TV. I also expect to have the 70" Laser TV mentioned on the recent Q3 conference call to replace my gigantic behemoth of a rear projection TV.Benhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17771017041687380881noreply@blogger.com
