1. A system for displaying an object with depths comprising:
a right light signal generator generating multiple right light signals for an object, each right light signal being a collimated narrow light beam of a right pixel;
a right combiner receiving and redirecting the multiple right light signals towards one retina of a right eye of a viewer to display multiple right pixels of the object;
a left light signal generator generating multiple left light signals for the object, each left light signal being a collimated narrow light beam of a left pixel;
a left combiner receiving and redirecting the multiple left light signals towards another retina of a left eye of the viewer to display multiple left pixels of the object; and
wherein a first redirected right light signal and a corresponding first redirected left light signal are respectively collimated and enter the right eye and the left eye of the viewer as collimated narrow light beams and are perceived by the viewer to display a first virtual binocular pixel of the object with a first depth that is related to a first angle between the first redirected right light signal and the corresponding first redirected left light signal,
wherein a second redirected right light signal and a corresponding second redirected left light signal are respectively collimated and enter the right eye and the left eye of the viewer as collimated narrow light beams and are perceived by the viewer to display a second virtual binocular pixel of the object with a second depth that is related to a second angle between the second redirected right light signal and the corresponding second redirected left light signal, and
wherein the first angle and the second angle are not equal.
