Abstract: An apparatus is provided which may be selectively used in a variety of different ways. In one example the apparatus may be attached to one or more preexisting optical accessories to allow a user to view external environmental information concurrently when looking through the ocular lens of an optical device. Advantageously, such an implementation may permit a user to effectively obtain environmental data without moving away from an optical device. In another example, an optical system may be used to selectively attach an external device to an optical device to transmit environmental data recorded by the external device in order to superimpose an image through an ocular lens to be displayed concurrently with a target scene.
