Abstract
An animal-wearable head-mountable display (AW-HMD) device comprises a head fitting designed to fit the head of an animal, and an output subsystem coupled to or integral with the head fitting and configured to output a signal to the animal. The device can comprise an optical module configured to project images into an eye of the animal, and various other modules, such as an audio module, a tactile module and/or an olfactory module. An animal-wearable first person view (AW-FPV) system may be used separately or in conjunction with the AW-HMD device, to enable a remote human user to view the animal's real-world environment from the animal's point of view.
Claims23
A sensor module comprising:
- a housing;
- at least a portion of a fastener, the fastener configured to removably attach the housing to a head fitting designed to fit the head of an animal;
- and
- a first camera at least partially contained within the housing and positioned to acquire image data of a real world environment of the animal when in operation while the sensor module is attached to the head fitting and the head fitting is worn by the animal.
A head-mountable first person viewing system comprising:
- a head fitting designed to fit the head of an animal;
- a first camera coupled to the head fitting and positioned to acquire image data of a real world environment of the animal when the head-mountable first person viewing system is worn by the animal;
- and
- a wireless transmitter configured to transmit the image data in real-time, for delivery to a remote device configured to display images of the real world environment of the animal, based on the image data.
A head-mountable input/output (I/O) system comprising:
- a head fitting designed to fit the head of an animal;
- an optical output subsystem coupled to or integral with the head fitting and configured to output images to the animal;
- a plurality of cameras, each at least partially contained within the housing and positioned to acquire image data of a real world environment of the animal when in operation while the head-mountable I/O system is worn by the animal;
- and
- a wireless transmitter configured to transmit the image data in real-time, for delivery to a remote device configured to display images of the real world environment of the animal, based on the image data.
