Abstract
A system and methods for the enhancement of a user's vision using a head-mounted and user-controllable device including a magnification bubble having variable attributes wherein a portion of the scene is magnified within the complete scene, wherein the user is able to modify, in real-time, how the images are processed including the attributes of the magnification bubble.
Claims13
A portable user vision-enhancement system comprising:
- a memory including a stored program;
- a camera mounted to view a scene in front of the user and operable to obtain input video images of the scene;
- a processor programmed to execute the stored program to transform the input video images of the scene into a stream of output video images of the scene wherein each output video image has a magnification bubble that enlarges a portion of the output video image of the scene within a peripheral portion of the scene;
- wherein the magnification bubble has variable attributes where the processor is programmed to vary attributes of the magnification bubble including at least one of the position of the magnification bubble, the size of the magnification bubble, the shape of the magnification bubble, and the magnification power of the magnification bubble, in the scene in the stream of output video images in response to an input signal;
- and
- a user screen disposed to be viewed by the user that displays the output video images.
