A virtual retinal display (VRD) utilizes photon generation and manipulation to create a virtual image that is projected directly onto the retina of the eye without creating a real or an aerial image that is viewed via a real screen, mirror or optics. The user sees what appears to be a display floating in space in front of them. 3, record 1, English, - virtual%20retinal%20display
