Vision enhancement
Yuta Itoh, Gudrun Johanna Klinker · 2015
Vision is our primary, essential sense to perceive the real world. Human beings have been keen to enhance the limit of the eye function by inventing various vision devices such as corrective glasses, sunglasses, telescopes, and night vision goggles. Recently, Optical See-Through Head-Mounted Displays (OST-HMD) have penetrated in the commercial market. While the traditional devices have improved our vision by altering or replacing it, OST-HMDs can augment and mediate it. We believe that future OST-HMDs will dramatically improve our vision capability, combined with wearable sensing systems including image sensors.
