Come to think of it, with this, "screen" ceases to be
a valid display concept.

You can do true 3-D imaging, real-world overlays, and shapes
floating free in space without reference to a rectangular
region.

It's no wonder one of their biggest investors is the DoD.

Objects would still be restricted to the cone behind the
display unit, though.  Unless you got a wide display and
used it to cover the whole FOV of the eye, kind of like current
virtual reality goggles do.  Then "screen" becomes closer
to "hemisphere".
