Scanning laser projection technology is enabling advances in a number of areas of 3D display development. We discuss various scanned laser display technologies developed in our laboratory: 1) Our 1 mm × 9 mm projector uses a vibrating singlemode optical fiber to produce scanned images, and enables compact 3D head‐mounted displays with the potential form factor of a pair of eyeglasses. 2) Arrays of scanning fiber projectors can enable massively‐multi‐view autostereoscopic displays with full head motion parallax and partial accommodation cues, and 3) Our 3D volumetric displays triaxially scan light beams to render a volume, placing different pixels at different optical viewing distances to enable accurate accommodation and vergence cues.
