The technology relates to a motion sensory and imaging device capable of acquiring imaging information of the scene and providing at least a near real time pass-through of imaging information to a user. The sensory and imaging device can be used stand-alone or coupled to a wearable or portable device to create a wearable sensory system capable of presenting to the wearer the imaging information augmented with virtualized or created presentations of information.

A floating-information display includes a first quarter-wave retarder disposed on a side of an optical plate. A reflective polarizer is disposed between the first quarter-wave retarder and the optical plate. A first display is configured to transmit a first image along a first axis through the first quarter-wave retarder to the reflective polarizer. The reflective polarizer redirects the first image along a second axis through the first quarter-wave retarder toward a viewer. The first image appears to the viewer to be oriented normal to the second axis and at a first location. A second display is configured to transmit a second image to the optical plate. The second image is transferred through the first quarter-wave retarder along the second axis toward the viewer. The second image appears to the viewer to be oriented normal to the second axis and at a second location.

The present invention relates to a system (1) configured to select a portion of a virtual scenario (S1v,S2v) during the movement of a vehicle (V) within a geographical area of interest (A). Said system (1) is capable of obtaining information associated with the vehicle (V) regarding the position, the rotation with respect to the x, y, z axes of a reference system associated with the vehicle itself, as well as the heading, and applying this information to a virtual geographical area (Av) associated with said geographical area of interest (A), so that each movement of the vehicle (V) in the geographical area of interest (A) corresponds to a respective movement in the virtual geographical area (Av). In this way, the viewing of a virtual scenario (S1V, S2V) changes according to the movement of the vehicle. The present invention relates also to a vehicle (V) comprising said system, as well as to a method for selecting a portion of a virtual scenario during the movement of a vehicle (V) within a geographical area of interest (A) by means of said system.

This method for producing a light control panel used in an optical image forming device includes: a step of forming a laminate 22 by laminating a plurality of transparent plate materials 20 having the same thickness while alternately shifting them by a predetermined length in the width direction so as to form protruding portions 21; a step of forming light-reflecting layers 13 at least on facing surfaces 16 of the adjacent protruding portions 21; a step of filling gap regions 26 between the adjacent protruding portions 21 with a transparent resin 27; a step of cutting and separating the protruding portions 21 integrated at each side of the laminate 22 from a laminated body 28 thereby making preforms 29, 30 for the light control panels 10, 11; and a step of flattening both end surfaces of each of the preforms 29, 30 in the width direction.

Embodiments herein provide a method for stereo-visual localization of an object by a stereo-visual localization apparatus. The method includes generating, by a stereo-visual localization apparatus, a stereo-visual interface displaying the first stereo image of the object and the first stereo image of the subject in a first portion and the second stereo image of the object and the second stereo image of the subject in a second portion. Further, the method includes detecting, by the stereo-visual localization apparatus, a movement of the subject to align the subject in the field of view with the object. Furthermore, the method includes visually aligning, by the stereo-visual localization apparatus, the subject with the object based on the movement by simultaneously changing apparent position of the first and the second stereo images of the subject in each of the first portion and the second portion in the stereo-visual interface.

Disclosed are systems and methods to render data from a 3D environment. The methods and systems of this disclosure utilize inverse ray tracing from a viewing volume to capture energy data from a 3D environment in a single rendering pass providing thereby collecting data more efficiently and accurately.
