Head attached television

摘要

A self contained, remotely controlled color television system is disclosed. The system utilizes a small head-mounted television camera having an integral field-of-view illumination system which is adapted to transmit a picture of the operations carried out by the wearer of the camera to be remotely viewed and/or recorded by a third party. The focusing and aiming of the camera is remotely controlled from a console equipped with controls and a television monitor. The illumination system utilizes a dual beam such that both the transmitted picture and the work carried on by the wearer are illuminated virtually without shadows and without interference to the field of view of the wearer. A second stationary mounted camera may be added to the system to provide additional coverage. Video imagery produced by the system is of a high quality which makes it quite useful for teaching and demonstrating such things as delicate surgical procedures of the type often found in dental, abdominal, cardio-vascular and neurosurgery.
