High-Tech Glasses Beam Info Directly Onto Your Retinas

Office workers may never have to worry again about viewing
hilarious but NSFW images surreptitiously. A pair of glasses
developed by Brother Industries can project images or
documents directly onto a wearer's retinas.

The Retinal Imaging Display technology displays a small image
10 centimeters wide that appears to float about 1 meter (3.3
ft) in front of a user's eye. Images have an 800x600
resolution and refresh at 60Hz.

Each pair of glasses holds an optical scanner, eyepiece and
a light source that also contains a tiny power box. Brother
Industries derived its application from laser printing
technology, as well as piezoelectric technologies based on
inkjet printing.

Similar technologies have tried embedding heads-up displays
within the lens of glasses. Other heads-up displays have gone
for more specific applications, such as giving drivers
a safer experience on the road.

company has yet to announce how much the specs will cost when
it commercializes them next year. But reading those operation
manuals hands-free at your desk never sounded so exciting.
Those are operation manuals, right?
