Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a stereoscopic picture by inputting video signals and generating video electric signals corresponding to left and right eyes, converting them into pictures, and then transmitting the pictures of a video device through optical fiber bundles which are each fixed at a prescribed position corresponding to the eye. CONSTITUTION:A video electric signal generator 1 inputs signals from a recording medium such as a magnetic tape or a broadcasting medium to output two slightly different video signals obtained as if the same video object were photographed from the positions of both eyes. Video devices 2 and 3 receive the outputs of the generator 1 and convert them into video. The pictures of the video devices 2 and 3 are transmitted through optical fiber cable bundles 4 and 5. To a terminal tool 6, the other-side terminals of the cable bundle 4 and 5 are fixed at the same distance with the human eyes, and the tool 6 is put on the human head, etc., removably. Thus, a stereoscopic picture is obtained. The pictures from the cable bundles 4 and 5 cover almost the whole of the field of vision, so a large picture is obtained.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an imaging device K capable of creating a stereoscopic image with a sense of perspective.

With conventional television receivers, a single screen is viewed with both eyes, making it impossible to obtain stereoscopic images with a sense of perspective. moreover,
Television receivers are usually installed at a certain distance, and you cannot see the screen unless you turn your body in a certain direction. Furthermore, the screen itself of portable television receivers was so small that large images could not be viewed.

The present invention not only allows a three-dimensional image to be obtained by sending separate images to each eye, but also eliminates the need for a large screen by filling most of the field of view with images created via a bundle of optical fiber cables. It is an object of the present invention to provide a video device that can obtain a large 1iiiIi image and alleviate restrictions on the position of a person viewing the screen.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in more detail by way of examples.

The figure is a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention.

1 is a video electrical signal generator, which uses as input a signal from a recording medium such as a magnetic tape or an optical video disk, or a broadcasting medium to produce a somewhat different video signal, similar to the one in which the same video object is photographed from the positions of both eyes. Outputs two video signals. Reference numerals 2 and 3 are video devices that receive the output of the video electrical signal generator 1 and convert it into video, and are, for example, a television receiver. Reference numerals 4 and 5 are optical 7-eyeper cable bundles that transmit images from the video cameras 3 and 4, respectively.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a terminal device to which the ends of the optical fiber park pulls 4 and 5 are fixed, and can be detachably attached to the human head while maintaining a certain distance from the human eye.

In this embodiment configured as described above, when a signal from a recording medium such as a magnetic tape or an optical video disk or a broadcasting medium is input, the video electrical signal generator 1 detects the same video target from the position of both eyes. 92 video signals similar to those taken but slightly different are output. The video devices 2 and 3 receive the output of the video electrical signal generator 1 and convert it into video, which is produced by the video devices 2 and 3 by the optical fiber cable bundles 4 and 5 and sent to the terminal device 6. I will be sent. Therefore, by wearing the terminal device 6 on the head or the like, one end of the optical fiber cable bundles 4 and 5 is kept at a fixed position with respect to the eye, and images from the video devices 2 and 3 can be viewed three-dimensionally.

A large image can be obtained by filling in the WJfa shown in 5 and 5). In addition, 1 optical fiber and 4 cable bundles
By increasing the lengths of and 2, the image can be viewed without any problem even if the position of the viewer changes.

As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a three-dimensional image, and a large image can be obtained even if the 1-image gI machine is small. Furthermore, restrictions on the position of the viewer can be relaxed.
