Abstract: A method for actuating an actuable deflection device of an optical system for a virtual retinal display. A first eye status of the user of the virtual retinal display, detected and/or determined using an eye status detection device of the optical system, is received by way of a control unit of the optical system at a first time. In addition, first actuation signals are generated for the actuable deflection device using the control unit, in such a way that the scanning region of the deflection device is adjusted in accordance with the detected and/or determined first eye status of the user.

Abstract: An optical system for a virtual retinal scan display. The optical system includes an image source which supplies image data, an image processing device for the image data, a projector unit having a light source modulatable in time for generating a light beam, and an actuable refraction device for the light beam for the scanning projection of the image content, a deflection unit onto which the image content is able to be projected and which is designed to guide the projected image content onto an eye of a user, and an adaptive optical element for modifying a beam divergence, which is situated in the optical path between the light source and the deflection unit. The adaptive optical element is able to be actuated so that the beam divergence of the light beam is variable as a function of the angle of incidence of the light beam on the deflection unit.

Abstract: A force measuring device of the electromagnetic compensation type is disclosed. The force measuring device includes a coil moving in a magnetic field, a display unit and a control circuit which returns the coil to its original position and supplies the display with the value of the forces being measured at substantially the same time. The device is also disclosed including a variable integration constant in the control circuit to provide a quicker response to small disturbances thus making the balance insensitive to vibrations.
