Just put a backing LCD in the line of sight so it can darken. And project on top of that. I think it is possible to solve.


Nope, sorry. The backing LCD will be out of focus. The whole AR thing is a lot of technology that sounds simple, but ends up being really really hard in practice.


Michael Abrash has a good overview of some AR challenges here, also discusses why that doesn't work: http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/abrash/why-you-wont-see-hard-...


Well, Magic Leap have given no indication that they have solved that problem.


Doesn't work- horribly out of focus.
