Claim One:
1. A system for viewing an external scene visually observed through at least one eye of an observer thereof comprising: (a) helmet means for mounting on the head of an observer; (b) a field-of-view camera mounted on said helmet and having a field-of-view camera axis generally perpendicular to the optic axis of the obserber's eye in the sense that said field-of-view camera's optic axis intersects said eye's optic axis; (c) an especially configured visor mounted on said helmet directly in front of said eye, said visor at least partially transparent to light from said scene transmitted to said eye of the observer along said optic axis and reflecting said light from said scene as a mirror image to said field-of-view camera; and (d) adjustment means associated with said visor, said field-of-view camera and said helmet means for spacing the visor at equal distances between said eye and said field-of-view camera measured from said intersection of said optic axis, and adjusting the angle between said visor and said field-of-view camera axis, to be equal to the angle between said visor and said eye's optic axis said angles being measured from the same side of said visor so that parallax is minimized to permit the point-of-view camera to accurately record said external scene as visualized by said eye.
