A stereoscopic camera and associated method for capturing a stereoscopic image pair are provided. As an example, a stereoscopic camera includes first and second lenses defining parallel optical axes. The stereoscopic camera also includes first and second image sensors for receiving optical signals from the first and second lenses. The first and second fields of view are defined so as to overlap to define a first area of coincidence when the first and second lenses are spaced apart by a first distance. The first and second lenses are configured to be repositioned to be spaced apart by a second distance with the first and second image sensors being correspondingly repositioned to alter a space therebetween such that the first and second fields of view overlap to define a second area of coincidence when the first and second lenses are spaced apart by the second distance.

A head-mounted display device includes a see-though display providing both eyes of a user with a view of a physical object, a processor, and a non-volatile storage device holding instructions executable by the processor to: display an image that corresponds to the physical object to a first eye of the user at an offset to the physical object; display blocking light to a second eye of the user; in response to alignment user input, move a position of the image relative to the physical object; in response to completion user input, determine the inter-pupillary distance of the user; and calibrate the head-mounted display device based on the inter-pupillary distance.

An electronic display includes a display panel that operates in a single display mode to provide a single display, or a dual display mode to provide two displays separated by an inactive region. The electronic display includes the display panel and a panel driver. The display panel includes a left pixel region, a right pixel region, and a middle pixel region between the left and right pixel regions. In the single display mode of the electronic display, the panel driver provides first gate signals generated from first input data to the left, right, and middle pixel regions. In a dual display mode, the panel driver provides second gate signals generated from second input data to the left and right pixel regions. The first input data has a first resolution that is larger than a second resolution of the second input data.

In a visual target acquisition scope system for an adjustable connection is provided between a unity magnification scope producing 1× magnification image viewed by one eye of the user and a photographic lens/viewfinder of a photographic camera viewed by another eye of the user. According to the system, while the user is looking at an object through the unity magnification scope with one eye and looking at the object through the photographic camera lens with the second eye, the target visible with the first eye is also visible with the second eye.

A packaging structure of head mounted terminal and a head mounted terminal are disclosed. The packaging structure comprises an annular rear casing and a soft rubber member, and the soft rubber member is disposed between the rear casing and two lenses of the head mounted terminal. The outer edge of the soft rubber member is fixed on the inner ring of the rear casing, the soft rubber member comprises two lens barrels arranged symmetrically, and the two lens barrels are respectively sleeved on the two lenses of the head mounted terminal. The soft rubber member further comprises an extending and folding part disposed on an outer periphery of the lens barrel, which is used to realize the extension of the lens barrel with the left and right movement of the lens.

The present invention is a lightweight night vision device (NVD) sealed from environmental conditions, shielded from electromagnetic interference (EMI), and having mechanisms for easy adjustment and fixation of collimation and interpupillary distance. The NVD monocular housing is integrated with the eyepiece, image intensifier tube module, and objective, allowing collimation to be fixed via an optical alignment of the monocular housing to its eyepiece, tube module, and objective. Certain components from existing NVDs may be reused in assembling the present invention to provide cost savings.

A wearable optical system allows a user to watch a large screen, such as a smartphone screen, in a wide field of view (FOV) with both eyes, the field superimposed on the real world. The screen displays two separate zones to be the data source for each eye. The system includes two projection optical subassemblies based on a pupil forming eye piece. The interpupilarity distance (IPD) is adjusted by rotating each optical subassembly about a pivot, which is perpendicular to its specific display zone.
