Imaging systems projecting augmented information on a physical object that at a minimum include a processor, a memory device operably connected to the processor, a projector operably coupled to the processor, and a distance-measuring device operably connected to the processor. The memory device stores augmented image information, and the processor is configured to project augmented image information onto the physical object. The distance-measuring device is configured to measure the distance to the physical object. The processor uses distance measurement information from the distance measuring device to adjust scaling of the augmented image information. The processor provides the scale adjusted augmented image information to the projector. System can also be used for fluorescence imaging during open surgery, for endoscopic fluorescence imaging and for registration of surgical instruments.

Swimming goggles have a left-eye covering and a right-eye covering, each having a corresponding transparent window that defines a field of view and each further having a seal extending between the transparent window and the swimmer's face and formed to exclude water. A near-eye display is in signal communication with an image processor and forms a virtual image in the left- or right-eye field of view.

VIRTUAL IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE AND DISPLAY SYSTEM

A virtual image display device includes: a switching mechanism for switching a position of a view angle including a first position and a second position; and a display control unit for displaying the virtual image in response to a switching of the position of the view angle by the switching mechanism. When the display control unit displays a specific content within the view angle at the second position after the switching mechanism switches the view angle from the first position to the second position, the display control unit starts displaying a related content preliminarily associated with the specific content before the switching of the view angle to the second position is completed.
