  Probably streams 4K video to a backend system like Amazons new product which then sends text to this low rez headset > ARREST THAT MAN!

  A red dot on whoever you are looking at = Arrest Him!
  Yellow dot = Watch Him!
  Green = Ignore that Undercover Gov't Agent
  
  Shouldn't be too hard to program, Right China?

  Just one question....
  
  Would Trumps Russian contact be Red, Yellow or Green?

  Screen size is 0.26 inches. even 720pm is overkill.

  Physical size is irrelevant, at such distances. You need to look at the FoV it covers.

  My dump guess would be... at most 1/4 of the what an eye see.

• HStewart - Tuesday, May 22, 2018 - link

  I think one needs to take in account the size of screen which is 1/4 in using math I came up what this would be same on 4x6 in screen - which is about 15,000 to 8500.
  
  Of course one's eye is closer than one would be at your phone

  "a small 0.26-inch screen featuring a 640×360 resolution that can display content with a 1280×720 resolution"
  
  Ummm... huh?

• HStewart - Tuesday, May 22, 2018 - link

  I believe it is called super-sampling

• mode_13h - Tuesday, May 22, 2018 - link

  I would call it down-sampling or simply image scaling, but it's a bit like FSAA.

• close - Wednesday, May 23, 2018 - link

  Hey, I have a FHD screen that can display *ANY* resolution as long as it's scaled to FHD.

• GreenReaper - Wednesday, May 23, 2018 - link

  Mine can scale *up* as well as down! It's almost magic.

• mr_tawan - Wednesday, May 23, 2018 - link

  It could be both ... super-sampling is to render an image in larger resolution and then resize it (down-sampling) to the target resolution. If there's no rendering then it would not be super-sampling IMO.

• HStewart - Wednesday, May 23, 2018 - link

  Well it looks like it uses 1280×720 images internally but then outputting to 640x360.
  
  I seen this happen on my XPS 15 2in1 when showing same window on 1920x1080 screen with laptop in 4k - even though the monitor a Samsung Curve 27 only has 1920x1080 resolution - it looks like the image was shrink - this is probably a windows 10 thing - and it might because I installed special drives for 34U88B on it.

  VSR/DSR?

  "From some points of view, Toshiba’s dynaEdge AR is a realization of Microsoft’s HoloLens concept."
  
  And which points of view are those? This barely qualifies as AR, IMO. It's certainly no Hololens.

  Party like it's the mid 1990s, I guess. These sorts of near-eye monocular HUDs have been off-the-shelf products for decades. I guess selling it alongside a tiny Windows PC rather than an awful little ARM box (or just VGA cables for roll-your-own) is an improvement, but that display module is proper vintage tech.

  Well, it is a Vuzix part.

  A $1,900 Business AR device without an API? Already dead.
