        abstract = {Existing near-eye display designs struggle to balance between multiple trade-offs such as form factor, weight, computational
requirements, and battery life. These design trade-offs are major obstacles on the path towards an all-day usable near-eye display.
In this work, we address these trade-offs by, paradoxically, removing the display from near-eye displays. We present the beaming
displays, a new type of near-eye display system that uses a projector and an all passive wearable headset. We modify an off-the-shelf
projector with additional lenses. We install such a projector to the environment to beam images from a distance to a passive wearable
headset. The beaming projection system tracks the current position of a wearable headset to project distortion-free images with
correct perspectives. In our system, a wearable headset guides the beamed images to a user's retina, which are then perceived as an
augmented scene within a user's field of view. In addition to providing the system design of the beaming display, we provide a physical
prototype and show that the beaming display can provide resolutions as high as consumer-level near-eye displays. We also discuss the
different aspects of the design space for our proposal.},
