Cyberdesk: Virtual office wherever you need it

cyberdesk_krohn.jpgOK, the Cyberdesk isn't really a desk — that's clear enough. The misleading name aside, it's a pretty wild piece of concept bling from the minds at Krohn Design, who asked, "Why not overlap the real and the virtual?" The bulbous piece of headgear looks more like medical gear from the future, with a bizarre necklace and a vaguely creepy curved tube in front of the eye.

The tube is the coolest thing about the Cyberdesk, though: Its function is to put a screen in front of your face where there is one. How does it do that? By projecting a laser through your pupil onto your retina, essentially creating a virtual heads-up display. Sounds, uh, blindingly brilliant. Presumably those crazy buttons on the necklace-thing serve as your keyboard and mouse. Or maybe those are virtual, too — who knows when you're dealing with concept devices? Definitely looks cool, though.

Um, projecting a laser onto the retina? That doesn't sound like fun...

TSIM, the laser is low enough power so that you don't wind up blinded. It basically draws the image onto your retina so that a screen is not needed. These displays have been in the design and testing stages for years. Now that lasers are getting more smaller and advanced, this should become a reality soon.

It looks awesome! Technology is advancing so rapidly these days.
Does this mean it will replace tv's? :)
In some ways I can understand how this won't fit right with some people.
