By placing transparent point light sources capable of projecting light directly into the eye at minimal distance from the pupil, the rays of light that make up the display can be fired directly into the eye. One point light isn’t large enough to create a visible field, but a hexagonally tiled group of point lights can be effectively used to create a superimposed visual image, as is shown above. The researchers call this a pinlight display.
