Patent ID: 8130261

Claim:
A dynamically corrected parallax system comprising a head borne video source for imaging an object and providing video data, a controller for electronically offsetting the video data provided from the head borne video source to form offset video data, and a display device for receiving the offset video data and displaying the offset video data to a user's eye, wherein the display device is configured for placement directly in front of the user's eye as a vision aid, and the head borne video source is configured for displacement to a side of the user's eye, the offset video data corrects parallax due to displacement between the display device and the head borne video source, an optical axis of the user's eye extends a distance of D to an object imaged by the head borne video source, an optical axis of an aperture of the head borne video source extends in a direction parallel to the optical axis of the user's eye, the displacement to a side is a horizontal displacement distance of d in a Frankfort plane between the optical axis of the user's eye and the optical axis of the aperture of the head borne video source, and the offset video data is based on the horizontal displacement distance d and the distance D to the object.
