Instead of using a screen to display information, couldn't we just use lasers or something similar to "beam" information directly into the eye?

Hello!

When Oculus Rift started being a big deal I started wondering why it is necessary to use a screen that spreads light in many directions instead of just using directed light like lasers and shoot in directly into the eye.

To me this seems like a much less wasteful and a more discreet way of projecting the information into your eye. Regular computer screens are not what I have in mind with this, but rather to use it in a headset.

Is this being done? Is it possible? Or am I just being stupid because I don't understand the technologies?
