@Lawless , thanks for posting this. It will be interesting to watch this technology progress.
Although it's not the same, getting rid of the glass lenses reminds me of the old pinhole cameras. Back in the early 80's a friend of mine turned a hotel room in a high rise into a pinhole camera. He taped off the window in the room, then built a large 6 foot square frame and covered it with photographic paper. It's interesting how the image that was captured included the street far below and directly in front of the hotel. The depth of field was also very good.
Once I needed reading glasses to see my pistol sights more clearing, I bought one of these. Same principal as the pinhole camera. It brings everything into focus so that you can see both the pistol sights and the target. I just clip it onto the right lens of my regular glasses. I do get some strange looks when I'm at the range. That said, I don't use it as much as I once did. My thoughts are that in a defensive situation, I won't have this available and did not want to become reliant on it. But it is great for target practice and trying to get a very tight group.
