Abstract
An object (3) is imaged and, after image processing, an image is displayed on a head-mounted display (10) in front of the eyes of a user of the display. The display (10) is constructed with two display modules (13, 14) for displaying the image, designed to be positioned in front of each eye within a limited section of each eye's field of vision, the display modules being arranged each to show a separate image and being designed to leave the field of view free towards the surroundings at least downwards and to the sides of the user. The display modules (13, 14) are advantageously arranged to show two different images, one in front of each eye, so that the user experiences a stereoscopic image with a perception of depth in a part of his field of vision at a predetermined distance in front of his eyes.

Method for image display, in which an object (3) is imaged and after image processing an image is displayed on head-mounted equipment (10) in front of the eyes of a user of the equipment, characterized in that an image is displayed in front of each of the user's eyes within a limited section of each eye's field of vision, so that the user can perceive his surroundings at least below and to the sides of this image.
Device for image display, with an image-processing device (5) connected to an imaging device (4) and with an image-viewing device (6) connected to the image-processing device, which image-viewing device incorporates a display (10) intended to be worn on the user's head in order to display an image in question of an imaged object in front of his eyes, characterized in that the display (10) is constructed with two display modules (13, 14) designed to be positioned in front of each eye within a limited section of each eye's field of vision, each display module being arranged to display its image within the said section of the user's field of vision, and being constructed to leave the field of view free towards the surroundings at least downwards and to the sides of the user.
