Sure, Apple calls its fancy screens Retina Displays, but that name is far more fitting for a device like the AiRScouter. It's a head-mounted display that projects images directly onto your retina.

The makers of the AiRScouter explain that the gadget gives you the impression that there's a transparent 16-inch screen floating one meter in front of your eyes. They also claim that the whole setup is perfectly safe and comfortable.

Gotta agree... not sure how comfortable I feel with them shining light directly on to my retina. I suppose it's not different than normal sight, but the fact that they are directing it so close and the chance of a malfunction, while low, could cause some serious problems.
