  • Patent number: 5189512
    Abstract: A Helmet Integrated Display (HID) system and device for remotely viewing a video signal, wherein the device is worn on a cameraman's head. The device has a housing containing a head-mounted, high resolution CRT to produce a visible image from an incoming video signal generated by an input video source such as a STEADICAM video tap camera. Through a network of mirrors and a double convex lens, the visible image is converted into a virtual image, which image is presented to a sighting eye of the cameraman. An occlusion device, also attached to the HID system, partially blocks off the view out of a non-sighting eye such that the perceived images from both eyes combine in the cerebral cortex of the cameraman's brain into one coherent image without problems of binocular rivalry.
