Claims
- 1. An electro-optic vision system comprising:
- a camera for producing an electronic image of a scene being addressed;
- a position and attitude determining means for determining the position and attitude of the vision system;
- a data store responsive to outputs of position and attitude determining means, the data store having information stored therein;
- a computer operable for combining the stored information with the electronic image to produce an augmented image;
- and an electro-optic display operable for displaying the augmented image.
- 2. A vision system of claim 1, further comprising transducers in communication with the computer, the transducers being fixed about an event forum and directed to make measurements from objects within a field of interest whereby said measurements are converted into information which relates to the scene being addressed.
- 3. An apparatus of claim 2, said transducers being operable for measuring the dynamic position of an element from the group; players; baseball; coaches; referees; umpires; bat, in play.
- 4. A vision system of claim 1, said position determining means being further comprised of a plurality of transducers at fixed locations about the event forum operable for transmitting a signal which enables said computer to determine the position of the camera.
- 5. A vision system of claim 1, further comprising an electro-optic display operable for displaying the augmented image, said position determining means being further comprised of a second data store having prior knowledge of seating locations about an event stadium, and a means to enter a spectator seat number.
- 6. A vision system of claim 1, said data store further comprising recorded data which represents events from a previous time in a format that can be combined with images of a real scene being addressed by said camera.
- 7. A vision system of claim 1, said data store further comprising recorded data which represents symbols in a format that can be combined with the images of a real scene being addressed by the camera.
- 8. A vision system of claim 1, said electro-optic display further being operable for displaying the augmented image, said data store further comprising recorded data which represents statistical information in a format that can be combined with the images of a real scene being addressed by the camera.
- 9. A vision system of claim 1, said data store further comprising recorded data which represents action traces in a format that can be combined with the images of a real scene being addressed by the camera.
- 10. A vision system of claim 1, said data store further comprising recorded data which represents computer graphical interface devices in a format that can be combined with the images of a real scene being addressed by the camera.
