Multipurpose imaging and display system

A system for capturing images of a target of interest and displaying the captured images to a user that is engaging the target of interest, comprising:

• a wearable display that is worn on a head of the user as the user engages the target of interest and is configured to display to the user an image of the target of interest as the user engages the target of interest;
• a detector that is coupled to the wearable display is configured to capture a field of view of the target of interest;
• a light source that includes a plurality of individual light sources with each individual light source spaced a part from each other individual light source and is configured to project light onto the target of interest and prevent a shadow cast by an intervening object onto the target of interest due to the spacing of the individual light sources;
• and
• a computing device configured to instruct the wearable display to display to the user the image of the target of the interest as captured in the field of view of the detector, wherein the shadow cast by the intervening object onto the target of interest is eliminated from the image displayed to the user.

A system for capturing images of a target of interest and displaying the captured images to a user that is engaging the target of interest, comprising:

• a plurality of wearable displays with each wearable display worn on a head of a corresponding user as each user engages the target of interest with each wearable display and is configured to display to the user an image of the target of interest as the user engages the target of interest;
• a plurality of detectors with each detector coupled to each corresponding wearable display and is configured to capture image data associated with a corresponding field of view of the target of interest for each corresponding detector;
• and
• a plurality of computing devices with each computing device associated with each corresponding wearable display and is configured to engage in communication with each corresponding computing device associated with each corresponding wearable display to enable image data captured by each corresponding detector to be communicated to each other computing device.

A system for capturing images of a target of interest and displaying the captured images to a user that is engaging the target of interest, comprising:

• a wearable display that is worn on a head of the user as the user engages the target of interest and is configured to display a portion field of view to the user as the user engages the target of interest via the wearable display, wherein the portion field of view that is thereby displayed to the user by the wearable display is less than a total field of view of the user;
• a detector that is coupled to the wearable display is configured to capture an imaging field of view of the target of interest that is within a first frequency spectrum;
• a filter configured to filter image data that is generated from the imaging field of view of the target of interest as captured by the detector to image data that is within the first frequency spectrum;
• and
• a computing device configured to:
• filter image data from the imaging field of view of the target of interest that is included in the portion field of view and within the first frequency spectrum,
• adjust the imaging field of view of the target of interest as captured by the detector to the portion field of view of the target of interest as displayed to the user by the wearable display based on the filtered image data as included in the portion field of view and in the first frequency spectrum, and
• instruct the wearable display to display to the user the portion field of view of the user based on the filtered image data and in the first frequency spectrum, wherein the portion field of view that is thereby displayed to the user by the wearable display is less than the total field of view of the user.
