Virtual Binoculars SX
|
|
The Virtual Binoculars are a handheld, interactive,
immersive display system that combine high resolution
images with adjustable, wide field-of-view optics
in the familiar form of a pair of binoculars.

Components |

Virtual Binocular SX Hand-Held Display features:
- Up to 1280x1024 full color
- Stereoscopic
- Mouse Compatible Buttons
- Tripod Mount
- Motion Tracking Available
Mechanical features include focus adjustment, interpupillary distance adjustment, and mouse-compatible buttons on the top of the unit. The buttons can be programmed using any software tool kit that supports mouse gestures. Uses for the buttons include toggling reticules and indicators, zoom control, and motion control in virtual environments.
The Virtual Binoculars are housed in a rugged plastic clamshell housing with sides cushioned by ergonomic rubber grips. A rubber wheel in the top center of the shell adjusts interpupillary distance. Underneath is a standard-threaded tripod mount for statically mounting the binoculars using off-the-shelf fixtures. The binocular display system is designed for easy and unobtrusive mounting of tracking sensors internally or externally.
The system can be adapted on a custom basis to simulate practically any binocular optical instrument. Successful implementations include simulated endoscope eyepieces, spotting scopes, and a number of vehicle-mounted sighting systems.
