The present invention pertains to a projector device for projecting a light beam onto a retina of a human eye, comprising a projector for projecting a light beam from the exterior of a human eye through a pupil of the eye, wherein the projector is configured such that an exit pupil diameter of the light beam is set smaller than an eye pupil diameter of the eye, a corresponding method, and a device comprising such a projector device.

The task of providing a device which makes it possible for the natural visual faculty of a partially vision-impaired person to be restored or supported as realistically as possible by means of a visual aid or visual prosthesis is achieved with the visual aid according to the invention in that, beyond the pure acquisition of a two-dimensional image, additional information is included in the image processing. For this purpose, a visual aid system is proposed which, during the reproduction of the processed image, visualizes additional information regarding the spatial position and/or specific attributes of objects in the acquired image which is associated with objects in the acquired image. The present invention thus affords the advantage that a three-dimensional image of the current environment of the user can be acquired owing to the fact that the image visualized to the user by the visual aid system according to the invention comprises additional information, for example, about the relative distance of the objects contained in the image and a depth-selective representation of the acquired image can thus be achieved.
