LCD Displays

[P3D <perryd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

          Despite my total lack of experience with head mounted
          displays I have felt for some time now that they will
          eventually be the best way to view just about everything.
          The glasses and HMD's that are out now apparently do some of
          the basics, the only thing really lacking is the resolution.
          In the Sept. 96 Popular Science a small article mentioned a
          company, Micro-Display from Berkeley Cal. that has
          developed a new way of making LCD's.  The drawback was a
          very limited viewing angle but they claimed 2000 by 2000
          pixels in one square centimeter.  Viewing angle is no
          problem in a headmount and the resolution sounds very good
          by current standards.  Make the LCD's 4 square centimeters
          and you are talking 35mm resolution or more.

             I envision a headset with high resolution LCD's and
          software to drive them that would allow electronic
          "mounting" to control the window, rotation errors and the
          other mounting problems we are all familiar with.  The right
          software could probably automate much of this.  Once a high
          resolution 3d viewing device like this is available, the
          only hurdle left is to come up with ways to scan old images
          with as little loss in resolution and color fidelity as
          possible and ways to record new images.  Of course we also
          need some way to store these mega-bit images/films
          archivally.
            I have always wished for a big screen TV but I would be
          satisfied with a setup that just makes the image LOOK big.
