Abstract
A system and methods for compensating for retinitis pigmentosa for a user include using a head-mounted and user-controllable device that can minify the image to more closely match the user's reduced field of view. The user may adjust the amount of minification and may also adjust the magnification of the image.
Claims16
A portable vision-enhancement system wearable by a user, said system comprising:
- a memory including a stored program;
- a camera mounted on said user aimed to view the scene in front of the user and operable to obtain input video images of said scene;
- a processor programmed to execute the stored program to change said input video images into a stream of output video images;
- a screen disposed to display said output video images for viewing by the user;
- and a user-operable controller for generating an input to said processor by which the size of the output video images is adjusted,
- such that, when said stored program is executed by said processor and the user operates said user-operable controller, a size of said output video images of said scene on said screen is adjusted.
