Abstract: Systems and methods for illuminating and/or inspecting one or more features of a unit under test (UUT) are disclosed herein. A system configured in accordance with embodiments of the present technology can include, for example, a machine, one or more diffuser elements, and/or one or more light sources. The system can create and adjust brightfield illumination profiles (e.g., uniform, brightfield illumination profiles) on portions (e.g., on curved features) of the UUT by, for example, using the one or more light sources and/or the one or more diffuser elements to adjust diffuse and/or specular illumination projected onto the curved features of the UUT. In some embodiments, the system includes one or more darkfield light sources configured to project illumination onto second portions of the UUT to create a darkfield illumination profile. The system can capture data of the brightfield and/or darkfield illumination profiles and can thereby inspect portions of the UUT.

Abstract: A simulator system includes a user tracking device for detecting a position of a user and generating a sensor signal representing the position of the user, a processor for receiving the sensor signal, analyzing the sensor signal, and generating an image signal in response to the analysis of the sensor signal, wherein the analyzing of the sensor signal includes determining a position of a virtual camera corresponding to the position of the user, the virtual camera being directed toward a reference look-at-point; and a image generating device for receiving the image signal and generating an image in response to the image signal, wherein the image is modified in response to the position and an orientation of the virtual camera relative to the reference look-at-point.

Abstract: A system and method are provided to rapidly inspect Liquid Crystal On Silicon (i.e., LCOS) displays to identify non-uniform cell gaps. The system includes a light source, a single polarized optical filter, and a color camera. The image acquired by the camera is analyzed to find variations in color. Excessive variations in color are used to identify excessive variations in the cell gap of the LCOS display. The arrangement of the components of the system does not require great precision and the analysis can be done very quickly.
