Abstract

Technologies are generally described to display of an Augmented Reality (AR) image using a micromirror on an eyeglass. In some examples, AR data may be received at a controller coupled to a laser transmitter positioned on a surface of a frame of the eyeglass. The laser transmitter may transmit a laser signal modulated by the received AR data onto the micromirror positioned on, preferably, a proximal surface of a lens of the eyeglass. Concurrently, an electrical signal may be transmitted to a base of the micromirror causing the micromirror to oscillate in correlation with an intensity of the laser signal such that the AR image is created on a retina. In another embodiment, the laser signal modulated by the received AR data may be reflected from a plane mirror positioned on the proximal surface of the frame, forward to the laser transmitter, to transmit the laser signal onto the micromirror.
