Abstract: A lighted swivel laparoscopic imaging apparatus has a shaft having a proximal end opposite a distal end, wherein the proximal end is configured for attachment to an actuator, wherein a longitudinal axis extends through the shaft, between the proximal and distal ends, wherein the distal end is configured for insertion into patient anatomy and for attachment of one or more laparoscopic tools, wherein at least a first laparoscopic tool at the distal end pivots on a first gimbal apparatus that is actable, from the actuator at the proximal end of the shaft, to rotate the at least the first laparoscopic tool about the longitudinal axis of the shaft and, further, to rotate the at least the first laparoscopic tool about at least a second axis, orthogonal to the longitudinal axis. The images from the laparoscopic instrument may be viewed in virtual format with a virtual overlay of where the instruments exist and are moving inside the body from an AR/XR headset or other 3D viewing device.

Abstract: A method of at-home monitoring of eye conditions using a head mounted display that is capable of establishing a visual model associated with a patient. The visual model may include data related to a quality of the patient's vision. The patient may use the system to establish a visual model periodically, such as daily, and the system may compare the visual model to previous visual models and send an alert to the patient's physician if changes meeting a given criteria are detected. This may allow the physician to immediately take steps to save the patient's eyesight where a delay in treatment may result in vision loss.

Abstract: A wearable display apparatus has a headset for display from left-eye and right-eye near-eye catadioptric pupil-forming optical systems, each defining an exit pupil. Each optical system has an image generator to direct image-bearing light for a 2D image from an emissive surface. A curved reflective surface along the view axis is partially transmissive and defines a curved intermediate focal surface. A beam splitter reflects light toward the curved reflective surface. An image relay optically conjugates the formed image with a curved aerial image formed in air at the curved intermediate focal surface. The image relay has a prism having an input surface facing the emissive surface of the image generator, an output surface facing the curved intermediate focal surface, and a folding surface between input and output surfaces for folding the optical path for light generated by the image generator. An aperture stop for the relay is within the prism.

Abstract: An augmented reality and extended reality surgical system comprising three 3D viewing options of: (i) an AR/XR headset or headsets, (ii) one or more autostereoscopic “3D glasses free” monitor(s); and (iii) one or more digital ocular stereoscopic 3D viewports which is mounted to a cobotic arm viewing option for ergonomically sound viewing. The system may comprise a wearable device, such as a head mounted display or glasses, that provides the user with virtual reality, augmented reality, and/or mixed reality for surgery visualization. This system is all digital and features both wired and wireless connections that have approximately the same latency of less than 20 milliseconds. This may allow the user to access 2D or 3D imaging, magnification, virtual visualization, six-degrees of freedom (6DoF) image management, and/or other images while still viewing real reality and thus maintaining a presence in the operating room.

Abstract: A wearable display apparatus has an image generator that is energizable to form a 2D image; a partially transmissive mirror having a curved reflective surface; a beam splitter disposed to reflect light toward the curved mirror surface; and an optical image relay that is configured to relay the formed 2D image at the image generator to a curved focal surface of the partially transmissive mirror, wherein the curved focal surface is defined between the curved reflective surface of the partially transmissive mirror and the beam splitter, wherein the relay, curved mirror, and beam splitter are configured to form an exit pupil for viewing the generated 2D image as an optical virtual image; and a spatial light modulator configured with addressable array of pixels for selectively changing opacity for visible light from the object field according to dimensions of the generated 2D image.

Abstract: A display has an image generator; a partially transmissive mirror having a curved surface; a beam splitter to reflect incident light toward the curved surface; and an optical image relay that defines a path to relay light to a curved focal surface of a partially transmissive mirror, the curved focal surface is between a curved reflective surface of the partial mirror and the beam splitter. A prism has a folding surface in the optical path for light from the image generator, wherein an aperture stop for the relay lies within the prism. A first plano-aspheric lens, against the prism input surface, guides light from the image generator toward the folding surface; a second plano-aspheric lens, in optical contact against the prism output surface, directs light to the curved focal surface. The relay, curved mirror, and beam splitter form an exit pupil for viewing the scene with a 2D image superimposed.
