Virtual retinal display (VRD) is a display technology that projects images directly onto the retina. The user sees the image as if it is floating in front of them. RETISSA is a VRD system developed as a medical device to help visually impaired individuals. It works by using lasers and MEMS mirrors to scan images onto the retina. Since the image is focused on the retina, it is always in focus for the user regardless of their vision. Clinical tests found RETISSA improved visual acuity for both normal and cataract patients. Potential applications include augmented reality displays, mobile TV, and information overlays to assist with tasks like navigation.
