Seriously people, these lasers WILL NOT blind people. WAY out of proportion to the real risk.
1- low power, I doubt they're more then 45mW each. A steady hit to the eye will blind you...
2- scanning. A glancing blow does much less damage then a straight on hit, same with light. if it skims past your eyes... no damage, probably not even flash blinded, or "sun" spots. you'ld have more damage from your home projector.
3- The lasers expand rapidly, unless you hold at eye, there's not an issue.
as with ANY technological advance, there will ALWAYS be drawbacks. Cars; Drunk Driving and crashing them. Light bulbs; paying for electricity. And thats the same for the PicoP; they can harm your eyes and will be most likely banned in schools. But as they always say, ying cannot exist without yang.
Let's not get excited, as with any display, you won't see a thing on the sunlight and there will be a lot of movement to ban it after some schoolkids blind their classmates with those lasers
Not so great, unless you use a special surface. Sony developed a material that only reflects narrow bands of RGB, so appears very dark unless you illuminate it with certain narrow RGB wavelenghts. On the microvision site they seem to have a fake image where some kids are projecting onto someone's T-Shirt, and amazingly there are areas in the image that are darker than the ambient lighting. Don't be fooled. It should still be an interesting product though.
battery life 1 1/2 hours before recharging. UGH!
