Embodiment Construction

[0050] figure 1 A first embodiment of the binocular observation system according to the present invention is shown. The binocular viewing system has a pair of display assemblies 5, one for the right eye and one for the left eye. Each display assembly includes an electronic display element 30, such as an LCD or other device known in the art. Each display element also includes a transparent light pipe element 10 . One light pipe element includes multiple optical components, including the eyepiece assembly, that transmits the image from the display element to the user's right eye, and the other light pipe element includes multiple optical components, including the eyepiece assembly, that transmits the image from the display element to the user's right eye. sent to the user's left eye. For example, refer to figure 2 , in the look-around method, turning mirror 20 and eyepiece 30 form an eyepiece assembly supported by transparent mechanical conduit 10 , which transmits light f...

Abstract

A binocular viewing system provides images from electronic display elements to the left and right eyes of a user transmitted via right eye and left eye display assemblies connected by a nose bridging element. The binocular viewing system includes an interpupillary distance adjustment mechanism to accommodate multiple users. Accommodation for vision correction and a focus mechanism may also be provided. Also, the binocular viewing system provides a virtual image at a distance less than infinity, in an arrangement that also accommodates a range of interpupillary distances. In other aspects, the binocular viewing system incorporates face curvature to more comfortably fit a user's head, and places the electronic display elements close to the user's eye, either in the line of sight, or within the nose bridging element.
