Abstract
A system includes a laser measuring module. The laser measuring module is configured to provide a length measurement. The system further includes at least one display module. The display module is configured to electronically display at least one measuring point. The display module is further configured to be separate or removable from the laser measuring module. The bearings of the at least one measuring point are taken using the laser measuring module.
Claims19
A system, comprising:
- a laser measuring module configured to provide a length measurement;
- and
- at least one display module configured to electronically display at least one measuring point associated with the length measurement and further configured to be separate from the laser measuring module, bearings of the at least one measuring point being taken using the laser measuring module,
- wherein the bearings are transmitted to the at least one display module such that the display module electronically displays in real time the at least one measuring point only when a field of view of the display module overlaps a portion of a field of view of the laser measuring module that contains the at least one measuring point, and
- wherein the at least one display module is configured to be fastened proximate to an eye of a user such that the field of view of the display module corresponds to a field of view of the user.
A display module included in a system having a laser measuring module that provides a length measurement, the display module comprising:
- a display unit configured to electronically display at least one measuring point associated with the length measurement and further configured to be separate from the laser measuring module,
- wherein bearings of the at least one measuring point are taken using the laser measuring module and are transmitted to the display unit such that the at least one measuring point is electronically displayed in real time on the display unit only when a field of view of the display unit overlaps a portion of a field of view of the laser measuring module that contains the at least one measuring point, and
- wherein the display unit is configured to be fastened proximate to an eye of a user such that the field of view of the display unit corresponds to a field of view of the user.
A method for displaying a measuring point using a system including a laser measuring module and at least one display module, the method comprising:
- fastening the at least one display module proximate to an eye of a user;
- providing a length measurement using the laser measuring module;
- taking bearings of at least one measuring point associated with the length measurement using the laser measuring module;
- comparing location data relating to the at least one display module with location data relating to the laser measuring module;
- and
- electronically displaying in real time the at least one measuring point using the at least one display module when a field of view of the display module overlaps a portion of a field of view of the laser measuring module that contains the at least one measuring point, the at least one display module configured to be separate from the laser measuring module, the field of view of the display module corresponding to a field of view of the user.
