Patent number: 10223833Abstract: A method of augmenting sight in an individual. The method comprises obtaining an image of a scene using a camera carried by the individual; transmitting the obtained image to a processor carried by the individual; selecting an image modification to be applied to the image by the processor; operating upon the image to create a modified image using either analog or digital imaging techniques, and displaying the modified image on a display device worn by the individual. The invention also relates to an apparatus augmenting sight in an individual. The apparatus comprises a camera, carried by the individual, for obtaining an image of a scene viewed by the individual; a display carried by the individual; an image modification input device carried by the individual; and a processor, carried by the individual. The processor modifies the image and displays the modified image on the display carried by the individual.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2017Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: eSight Corp.Inventors: Conrad W. Lewis, Daniel Mathers, Robert Hilkes, Rejean J. Y. B. Munger, Roger Colbeck

Patent number: 10129520Abstract: A method and apparatus of displaying a magnified image comprising obtaining an image of a scene using a camera with greater resolution than the display, and capturing the image in the native resolution of the display by either grouping pixels together, or by capturing a smaller region of interest whose pixel resolution matches that of the display. The invention also relates to a method whereby the location of the captured region of interest may be determined by external inputs such as the location of a person's gaze in the displayed unmagnified image, or coordinates from a computer mouse. The invention further relates to a method whereby a modified image can be superimposed on an unmodified image, in order to maintain the peripheral information or context from which the modified region of interest has been captured.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2017Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: eSight Corp.Inventors: ReJean J. Y. B. Munger, Robert G. Hilkes, Marc Perron, Nirmal Sohi
