A good point. The processing to add "OPC" to the images on the fly might make your glasses rather warm. Also, the optics problem gets more complicated, because you do still have the increased dispersion due to the small spots. The wafers don't move and refocus the way a human eye does.

One advantage might be that you can dynamically change the effective distance to the virtual screen -- it's important people refocus to different differences fairly often. It seems to me there are "re-focusing" algorithms for images, and this could be a version of that (especially since we have the "true") image.

(I would mod you up, but I can't mod in a thread I'm contributing to ...)

Submission + - Congress Tackles Patent Reform

nadamsieee writes: Wired's Luke O'Brian recently reported about Congress' latest attempt to reform the patent system. In the article O'Brian tells of how "[w]itnesses at Thursday's hearing painted a bleak picture of that system. Adam Jaffe, a Brandeis University professor and author of a book on the subject, described the system as "out of whack." Instead of "the engine of innovation," the patent has become "the sand in the gears," he said, citing widespread fears of litigation." The House Oversight Committee website has more details. How would you fix the patent system?

LOTR Jumps the Shark 247

eggoeater writes "The latest incarnation of The Lord of the Rings is here in the form of musical theater and, as reported by Yahoo News, the reviews are not good. The Toronto production puts less emphasis on plot, character, and music, and concentrates more on hi-tech theatrics. The production uses a 40-ton, computer controlled stage with 17 elevators and the cast of 55 goes through 500 costumes in the 3 hour performance. Despite this, the same critics say it will be a big money-maker."
