`>speaking of removing the backing on LCDs and projecting light through `>them. Has anybody tried to make a heads up display that way? Something `>that could be fitted to a helmet or added to glasses. ` `This probably wouldn't work well, as you'd have to shift your focus between `the display and the world. Try reading something two inches in front of `you... True heads-up displays have their focus at infinity, so they are `easily readable. Greetings. And how does the "focus at infinity" work? I presume you would need lenses - acrylic as to not have 40 lbs on you head? Hey, you might as well explain - I already took the LCD out of the TV. Now what? ;-) ` `----------------------------------------------------- `Gordon S.
