It basically is like a crt except that a mirror *vibrates* at 60hz (probably audible) back and forth, producing a "scanned" block of apparent display space left on the retina. I would be cheap, but the moving part aspect will probably kill it. Any other Cheap <read Practical> ideas [Until Holograms can be dynamically projected]? ### C.H. ###
