You could invent something that everybody needs or you could sell your body...

The site must be down. Try later.
It's all about a device that projects the image onto your retina, essentially with HUGE resolutions that will fill your perifferal. It's pretty new at the moment and only does red, but it has great potential.

I was thinking the same thing. But being an extremely low-power laser, i figure it emits significantly less radiation than your standard CRT monitor.
Maybe a little brighter so you can see in daylight/bright enviromnents, but not so powerful that it damages your eyes. After all, light is bounced off objects and enter your eyes, so its really the same principle.

highly doubt it. the eye fatigue would get them killed. they do have HUD's tho that "float" in front of their faces (planes and helicopters)
