(PhysOrg.com) -- NEC and Brother are both developing wearable prototype devices that use Retinal Imaging Display (RID) technology to project images directly on the wearer's retina. NEC's gadget is designed to interpret foreign languages and project a translation onto the retina, making it possible to have a conversation without an interpreter. Brother's device will project images of documents, allowing the wearer to read them in complete privacy. http://www.physorg.com/news176111763.html Electronics Fri, 30 Oct 2009 08:56:53 EST news176111763 (AP) -- The European Union has unveiled an updated satellite navigation system that is up to five times more precise than the current GPS system. http://www.physorg.com/news173595732.html Technology Thu, 01 Oct 2009 06:30:01 EST news173595732 How can rescue units be better protected during disaster operations or avalanche victims be found quicker?
