Abstract
A method and apparatus is disclosed for artificially creating space within a lens such that, when an image is projected from the lens onto the retina of the user, the image appears to be positioned further away than it actually is. This is accomplished by embedding a series of projection tubes on the perimeter of a lens adapted to project an image inward toward the retina of the user. The projection tubes will provide artificial spacing and cause the projected image to seem distant or otherwise positioned further away, creating a more realistic viewpoint for the user.
