Abstract

FIELD: optics.

SUBSTANCE: digital glasses contain a darkened lens with a video camera mounted in it at the level of the pupil with turning angles corresponding to the human eye, and also a lens with a digital internal screen located closer to the bridge of the nose. Above the lens is the position sensor of the pupil of the seeing eye. Camera moves synchronously with the seeing eye. Lens with a movable monitor rearranges the angle of the image depending on the rotation of the eye. In inner volume of the lens of the unseeing eye, a microcomputer is installed, responsible for synchronizing all digital devices and creating a video stream in the digital inner screen of the lens of the seeing eye. Digital glasses for people with one seeing eye are designed to return the fullness of the visual picture by combining a digital picture of the unseeing eye in the seeing, which allows for one seeing eye to perceive the environment in the scope of binocular vision, as with two seeing eyes.

EFFECT: providing emulation of binocular vision for an observer with one unseeing eye.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to a medical-technical device for the rehabilitation of people with one seeing eye and can be used to emulate full binocular vision, as well as create emulation of binocular vision for people in whom one eye is temporarily incompetent. The invention allows to create conditions for the correct perception of the surrounding picture binocularly in one seeing eye, which makes it possible to fully restore working capacity and return to professional activity.

State of the art

The closest in technical essence are glasses with a decarative lens that covers the field of the blind eye.

The method described in the prototype consists of the following operations:

- a person with one seeing eye puts on glasses, while the seeing eye has a lens with an emulation monitor and a scanner for the position of the pupil, and the lens that does not see the lens with a video camera;

- the scanner of the position of the pupil of the seeing eye reads the coordinates and transmits them through the microcomputer to the video camera, while the movements of the pupil and the lens of the video camera are synchronous;

- in the microcomputer, the resulting image is processed and transferred to an emulation monitor located in the lens of the seeing eye;

- synchronization of the real picture and the picture on the emulation monitor in the seeing eye creates a single picture comparable in volume and viewing angles with binocular vision.

Reasons that prevent obtaining the desired result

The prototype has the disadvantage that it does not provide the opportunity to form a binocular picture of vision in one seeing eye, and the decorative lens only closes the blind eye, creating an aesthetic effect. In addition, there is no way to restore full working capacity to a person who has lost the visual activity of one eye and restore binocular vision in professions closely associated with full-fledged visual activity, which affects the further quality of life and, accordingly, the accuracy and reliability of the received visual information.

Disclosure of invention

Technical result

Digital glasses are a design of assembled technical devices, consisting of a frame made of dense, non-deformable plastic, power elements for autonomous long-term operation of glasses are installed in the arms of the frame. On the side of the invisible eye, the frame contains an opaque plastic lens with a moving camera mounted synchronously with the pupil of the seeing eye, a microcomputer is located in the inner volume of the opaque lens. On the side of the seeing eye in the frame is the position sensor of the pupil of the seeing eye, as well as an optical lens combined with an emulation monitor that delivers the image synchronously in real time from the video camera. Thus, a combined image from a video camera and a seeing eye corresponding to full binocular vision is supplied to one seeing eye.

The implementation of the invention

Emulation of binocular vision on one person’s seeing eye using a digital glasses device for emulating binocular vision, which includes obtaining a digital image in the field of the blind eye and its synchronous display in the field of the seeing eye. At the same time, the location of the video camera and the image perceived by it on the lens of the blind eye should correspond to the seeing eye.

The synchronous movement of the video camera with the pupil of the seeing eye in real time is carried out due to the commands of the microcomputer, which receives the coordinates of the pupil of the seeing eye from the position sensor of the pupil of the seeing eye.

The sequence of actions during the implementation of the proposed method

Digital glasses for emulating binocular vision are worn on the customer, with the location of the lenses in accordance with the seeing eye. To correctly display the digital emulation of binocular vision, a video camera, a pupil position sensor of the seeing eye and an emulation monitor in the lens of the seeing eye are set up. After calibrating (adjusting) the glasses, a person can perceive the surrounding environment in the volume of binocular vision with one seeing eye, as with two seeing eyes.
