Abstract

A head-up display, an infrared (IR) camera (18) and electronics are integrated into portable, wrap-around, face-worn vision-enhancement apparatus (10) useful in environments of dense air-borne particulate and thermal extremes. Reflective and opaque lenses (38) are provided at eye level for IR, vision display and blinding purposes. The IR camera is integral with wrap-around system. An optical axis of the IR camera and an axis describing the user's virtual line of sight through the viewing eye converge at a nominal arm's length in front of the user's viewing eye. The imager is preferably an un-cooled focal plane array (20) and associated imaging, storing, processing and displaying electronics are cooled using an integral plural phase heatsink. The apparatus is separate from, but compatible with, helmets and SCBA gear, it can be installed and removed by an individual user. Also provided is enhanced vision via color-coded temperature banding.
