An augmented reality (AXR) visualization system is described herein. The AXR visualization system includes an AXR headset to be worn by a user, a display monitor positioned in view of the user and a support arm system including a first support arm and a second support arm. The first and second support arms are orientated such that the display monitor is visible to the user between the first and second support arms. A 3D digital viewport coupled to the first support arm. A 3D digital microscope coupled to the second support arm. A computer system including a processor programmed to receive and process images from the 3D digital microscope and display the processed images on the 3D digital viewport, the AXR headset, and the display monitor.

AXR visualization system

A wearable display apparatus is described herein. The wearable display apparatus includes a headset, a left-eye optical system, a right-eye optical system, and an inter-pupil distance (IPD) adjustment system coupled to the headset, the left-eye optical system, and the right-eye optical system for adjusting an inter-pupil spacing between the left-eye optical system and the right-eye optical system.

Wearable pupil-forming display apparatus

A wearable display apparatus is described herein. The wearable display apparatus includes an image generator that forms a 2D image, a partially transmissive mirror having a curved reflective surface, a beam splitter disposed to reflect light toward the curved mirror surface, and an optical image relay that is configured to conjugate the formed 2D image at the image generator to a curved focal surface of the partially transmissive mirror.

A wearable display apparatus is described herein. The wearable display apparatus includes an image generator that forms a 2D image, a partially transmissive mirror having a curved focal surface and a partially transmissive curved reflective surface, a beam splitter, and an optical image relay positioned between the image generator and the beam splitter. The optical image relay includes a right-angle prism, a first plano-aspheric lens, a doublet positioned between the first plano-aspheric lens and the image generator, a meniscus singlet lens positioned between the doublet and the image generator, and a concave-plano field lens.

An apparatus for obtaining an image of a retina is described herein. The apparatus includes an optical relay that defines an optical path and is configured to relay an image of the iris along the optical path to a pupil, a shutter is disposed at the pupil and configured to define at least a first shutter aperture for control of light transmission through the pupil position, a tube lens disposed to direct light from the shutter aperture to an image sensor, and a prismatic input port disposed between the shutter and the tube lens and configured to combine, onto the optical path, light from the relay with light conveyed along a second light path that is orthogonal to the optical path.

Retina imaging apparatus

A compact augmented reality (AR) display system is described herein. The AR display system includes an eyeglass frame and a pair of near-eye pupil forming catadioptric optical engines mounted to the eyeglass frame. The pair of near-eye pupil forming catadioptric optical engines are mounted to the eyeglass frame and spaced along the longitudinal axis. Each of the near-eye pupil forming catadioptric optical engines includes an image generator forming a 2D image, an optical imaging assembly, and an optical image relay assembly, which includes the image generator and the lenses or other optics to present the image correctly to the user. The pair of near-eye pupil forming catadioptric optical engines enable viewing the 2D image binocularly in 3D.

An augmented/extended reality (AXR) headset for use with a surgery visualization system is described herein. The AXR headset includes a wearable support frame, one or more forward-facing cameras pivotably mounted to the wearable support frame, an imaging system mounted to the wearable support frame, and a control logic processor coupled to the one or more front facing cameras and the image generator, and programmed to execute an algorithm including the steps of receiving image data from the one or more forward-facing cameras and operating the image generator to display the received image data onto the curved mirror.

Surgery visualization theatre

A surgery visualization system is described herein. The surgery visualization system includes a display monitor positioned in view of a surgeon and a support arm system including a first support arm and a second support arm. The first and second support arms are orientated such that the display monitor is visible to the surgeon between the first and second support arms. A 3D digital viewport coupled to the first support arm. A 3D digital microscope coupled to the second support arm. A computer system including a processor programmed to receive and process images from the 3D digital microscope and display the processed images on the 3D digital viewport and the display monitor.

A surgery visualization theatre comprising: an augmented/extended reality (AXR) headset; a digital viewport mounted on a cobotic arm; a monitor mounted on a monitor cobotic arm; a camera subsystem mounted on a camera cobotic arm; and a frame with cobotic arms featuring intelligence and command and control for the system and visualization methodologies, where the digital viewport cobotic arm, the monitor cobotic arm, and the camera cobotic arm are mounted on the frame and the AXR headset is connected thereto.

An apparatus for obtaining an image of a cornea having a stereomicroscope configured to obtain and display 2D or 3D image content of an eye of a patient, with pupil imaging optics that form a pupil along an optical axis and a shutter configured to form a pattern of one or more apertures for light at the formed pupil. An input prism is configured to direct light to or from the optical axis, with optics configured to convey light along the optical axis to a sensor.

Surgery 3D visualization apparatus

A display has an image generator; a partially transmissive mirror having a curved surface; a beam splitter to reflect incident light toward the curved surface; and an optical image relay that defines a path to relay light to a curved focal surface of a partially transmissive mirror, the curved focal surface is between a curved reflective surface of the partial mirror and the beam splitter. A prism has a folding surface in the optical path for light from the image generator, wherein an aperture stop for the relay lies within the prism. A first plano-aspheric lens, against the prism input surface, guides light from the image generator toward the folding surface; a second plano-aspheric lens, in optical contact against the prism output surface, directs light to the curved focal surface. The relay, curved mirror, and beam splitter form an exit pupil for viewing the scene with a 2D image superimposed.

An optical apparatus for imaging a sample has a scanning apparatus having a laser energizable to direct an input beam of a first wavelength to a reflective scanner that is rotatable about an axis and a toroidal mirror surface that is symmetric about said axis and is disposed to direct scanned laser light of the first wavelength toward the sample in an arcuate scan pattern. A compensator in the path of the input beam is formed to correct one or more aberrations of the toroidal mirror surface. Telecentric collector optics define a collection path that conveys, to a detector, scanned light of a second wavelength that is excited from the scanned sample.
