Abstract
An apparatus to capture and display an image of an object includes a frame, at least one optical sensor for capturing the image of the object, means for moving the frame relative to a surface of the object in a first direction, and means for moving the optical sensor relative to the frame in a second direction.
Claims18
An apparatus to capture and display an image of an object on a surface, said apparatus comprising:
- a frame;
- a body;
- at least one optical sensor for capturing the image of the object, wherein the at least one optical sensor is fixed to the body of the apparatus;
- a screen for displaying the image of the object;
- a pair of handles arranged on the body and provided with controls configured to control the screen, movement of the apparatus and/or the optical sensor;
- a frame plate arranged behind the screen;
- means for moving the optical sensor and the screen along a transverse axis of the apparatus and relative to the frame plate in a translation direction such that both the optical sensor and the screen are moveable in the same translation direction;
- at least two skids spaced apart from one another on the transverse axis at opposing ends of the frame and rotatably connected to the frame for supporting the apparatus such that the at least one optical sensor captures the object on the surface between the skids and the frame can move with respect to the surface.

A device for displaying an image of an object, the device comprising:
- a frame which can move across a surface of the object and having two opposing ends positioned on a transverse axis of the device;
- a screen connected to a body of the device and able to move in a translational direction in relation to a frame plate arranged behind the screen;
- at least one optical sensor fixed to the body and able to move in a translational direction relative to the frame plate;
- a pair of handles arranged on the body and adapted to move the optical sensor to follow reading movements of a user;
- and
- a support structure able to support the frame and the body for displaying an image of the object on a surface in front of the frame
- wherein the screen and the at least one optical sensor move in the same translational direction relative to the frame plate and between the two opposing ends of the frame along the transverse axis.
4 more elements
A method of forming a device for displaying an image of an object, the method comprising:
- forming a frame which can move across a surface of the object, the frame comprising two opposing ends positioned on a transverse axis of the device and a frame plate positioned between the two opposing ends;
- connecting a body, with at least one optical sensor fixed thereto and a pair of handles, to the frame so that the body can move relative to the frame plate in a translational direction along the transverse axis;
- and
- connecting a screen to the body to display the image of the object captured from the optical sensor, wherein the frame plate is arranged behind the screen and the screen and the optical sensor can move relative to the frame plate in the same translational direction.
