Abstract: Interface system for assisting an operator during a work stage comprising a support structure wearable by the operator, with a transparent screen placed in front of the operator's eyes to permit him to see a portion of a background; a virtual image generator for producing an optical signal directed towards the operator's retina so as to form a virtual image at a predetermined distance from the operator's eyes and superimposed on the background; a recording device integral with the operator's head, to record part of the operator's visual field and make available a signal representative of the visual field; a processing device for processing the signal from the recording device and generating a visual information signal of use to the operator for carrying out the work stage; and a device of reception/transmission for sending the signal from the recording device to the processing device, and rendering the information signal to the virtual image generator.

Abstract: The invention describes a system with a multifunctional integrated visual sensor using a CMOS or CCD technology matrix having a sensitive area divided into sub-areas dedicated to a series of specific functions.

Abstract: A display arrangement for a vehicle instrument panel comprises a wearable support structure on which is disposed a transparent screen positioned in front of an eye of an user to permit part of the background to be seen through this screen; a virtual image generator disposed on the support to generate a virtual image and present it to the user's eyes at a predetermined distance and superimposed over the scene visible through the transparent screen; a device for detecting the position and orientation of the user's head; and a processor connected to vehicle control systems to provide the virtual image generator with a video signal containing information to deliver to the user on the basis of system signals provided by the control systems in such a way that the virtual image generator generates virtual visual information superimposed over the background in predetermined regions of the field of view.
