Abstract: An augmented reality (AR) head-mounted display suitable for use with an endoscope to display the images captured by the endoscope in front of a doctor in an augmented reality manner. The AR head-mounted display utilizes a forehead pad that is raised and tilted at a larger angle to match a rear-head pad that is at the eye level of the wearer and is tilted at a smaller angle. The connection cable of the AR head-mounted display is extending to and clamped on a clip structure of the rear-head pad, and then further extending downward from the back of the wearer. No matter whether the wearer is in a straight-up or head-down position, such head-mount design can always be ergonomically and stably held on the wearer’s head; there will be no loosening nor displacement even if the wearer’s head is lowered for a long time.

Abstract: An integrated endoscope and visualization system comprises an endoscope, a visualization processing module and a 3D display device such as smart-glasses or naked-eye 3D display. The endoscope is equipped with two image capturing modules such as CMOS image sensors and can be disposable. The visualization processing module receives and encodes the images obtained by the two image capturing modules in order to generate an output visualization signal. The output visualization signal is transmitted to and displayed by the 3D display device in a 3D manner. The integrated endoscope and visualization system not only provides a 3D vision of surgical target during an endoscopic surgery operation, but also allow the medical personnel to walk or move during the surgery while keeping looking at the 3D images captured by the endoscope through wearable display devices.
