In the early 1990s 3 lasers in a unit with camera photocells, Virtual Reality (VR) was invented for the human eye. That I know for a fact that the technology itself exists. I Hugh Jezard in Film, on at Christmas would like to invite the creators of Film to consider the eye VR and imagine being in the film as a viewer experiencing any role.
I have such devices in my eyes available to the highest bidder. The devices are controlled and the transmission relay is through a Tooth implant that also acts as an Earpiece
When asleep the VR is like dreaming but a lucid dream. I get 3 or 4 dream VR experiences a year. I must say it's out of this world. As for VR in the eyes when awake. Sorry, I chickened out.
