Why You Shouldn’t Trust Microsoft Shooting 3D Images Into Your Eyes

Why You Shouldn’t Trust Microsoft Shooting 3D Images Into Your Eyes

Microsoft has allegedly been working on 3D with no glasses, no this is not like the 3DS. What Microsoft wants to do is beam images into each eye to make it look 3D.

Microsoft’s Applied Sciences Group is creating 3D by using a camera to track viewers’ eyes and a new special lens. That lens is shaped like a wedge, with 11mm thickness at the top vs 6mm at the bottom. Apparently, the wedge lens can steer light straight into a viewers eye by switching light-emitting diodes along its bottom edge on and off. Basically, by controlling the light, it can display different images on the screen and direct where each image goes.

The limit of their prototype is that currently, only 2 people can watch 3D at one time (one image per eye) or 4 people can watch a 2D video (one image per person).

This is definitely going to have problems, what about people with glasses im pretty sure the the laser relies on beaming images straight into the eye so what happens when glasses or contact lenses are deflecting them?

Microsoft is a huge company but that doesn’t mean that its immune to corruption, with that type of control over peoples eyes who know what crazy thing could happen, for all we know life could turn into the Matrix.

I know that this project is a work in progress however i’m pretty sure that you all know that too much TV and Computer (i’m talking 12-24 hours with no sleep when your eyes get dry) causes problems with your eyes but theres bound to be some side effects on this invention such as it ruining your eyes completely or causing serious seeing problems.
