OUTWARD FACING CAMERA SYSTEM WITH IDENTICAL CAMERA AND EYE IMAGE PICTURE PERSPECTIVE

摘要

Methods and systems relating to providing a mechanism that allows for providing a camera image picture, either still or video, to have the same line of sight as the eye without adding compensation circuitry, or substantial weight, size or power to a heads up display (HUD) for augmented reality applications. The camera may view the same image picture perspective as the eye sees by generating a second image picture view that may have the same line of sight as the eye using a beam splitter to split the incoming view before the image picture is viewed by the eye and the camera. In certain embodiments, after the image picture is split by the beam splitter, the image picture travels towards the eye and towards a camera that is operatively connected to a waveguide so that the image picture may propagate to the camera.
