Head mounted displays still have something futuristic about them, and Brother’s offering, the so-called AiRScouter, isn’t any exception. The company today unveiled [press release in English] the latest version of the HMD, which was first shown to most of the people in 2008 (and once more in 2009). Back then, the AiRScouter was unnamed and had one other design.
In fact, the device remains in prototype stage and labeled by Brother as “Retinal Imaging Display”. Brother expects the AiRScouter to be mainly used for augmented reality applications. The recent version offers better image quality than the previous one and allows to connect a micro camera.
The AiRScouter is predicted to be capable to be tried out by attendees of the “Brother World JAPAN 2010″ expo on the way to be held in Tokyo in September. Brother says it’s going to “launch” the device in fiscal 2010, which (in Japan) leads to March 2011.
