    This might be relevant for Augmented Reality headgear.

    How do you even fit a video projector onto something that small, the physics feel like they shouldn't cooperate.

    Cool. Now I can show videos to my fruit flies! /s

    Srsly title should be "MEMS Array Chip the Size of a Grain of Sand Can Project Video"

    not

    "MEMS Array Chip Can Project Video the Size of a Grain of Sand"

      It is actually about a 0.125mm projection, not the size of the chip. But more about steering lasers, which is really what they wanted to do.
