Brother has unveiled a smaller prototype of a retinal scanning display (RID) module that is touted to be the first in the world that utilizes green laser diodes. This new retinal scanning display module is roughly 95mm x 170mm x 30mm and tips the scales at approximately 350 grams, making it around 1/20 and 1/13 less respectively compared to its predecessor. It will not block your field of view when worn, instead functioning as projectors that use a retina as a screen. Brother has high hopes of commercializing such a retinal scanning display sometime next year to make everyone look like the Borg.
