Nintendo's Virtual Eye

I took apart my VirtualBoy because it broke, this is one of the the "Screens" your looking into when you play a game on that console. I see why that thing chewed through batteries to often... I'm no expert, but it looks like the same principal as a scanning laser at a supermarket, a magnetically driven oscillating mirror reflects each row of pixels generated by the "screen" into a set of lenses and exits through the eye piece. Pretty sophisticated for a game console. shame there was only like 18 games for it... and shame it caused so many headaches afterwards

oh, in case your wondering, it's not on in this pict, I'm hitting it with a laser
