Optical system alternating image capture and image projection
First Claim
1. An optical system comprising:
- a first image capture device for capturing an image of an observation area, a first display device, a semi-reflecting plate, a concave mirror disposed facing said first display device, a second display device for displaying a background image, a light beam being scattered by said first display device through said semi-reflecting plate and then reflected by said concave mirror and said semi-reflecting plate in order to display an aerial image between said semi-reflecting plate and said observation area, a projector adapted to project a light beam toward one of said first display device and second display device, said first image capture device being adapted to capture an image of said observation area through said one display device, and means for alternating capture of said image of said observation area by said first image capture device and projection of the light beam projected by said projector.

Abstract
An optical system comprises a first image capture device for capturing an image of an observation area, a first display device, a semi-reflecting plate, a concave mirror disposed facing the first display device, and a second display device for displaying a background image. A light beam is scattered by the first display device through the semi-reflecting plate and then reflected by the mirror and the semi-reflecting plate in order to display an aerial image between the semi-reflecting plate and the observation area. A projector projects a light beam toward one of the display devices. The first image capture device is adapted to capture the image of the observation area via said one display device. A alternating control device alternates capture of an image of the observation area by the first image capture device and projection of the light beam projected by the projector.

12. A communication system respectively located in a local scene and a remote scene,
each of said two optical systems comprising: -
a first image capture device for capturing an image of an observation area, a first display device, a semi-reflecting plate, a concave mirror disposed facing said first display device, a second display device for displaying a background image, a light beam being scattered by said first display device through said semi-reflecting plate and then reflected by said concave mirror and said semi-reflecting plate in order to display an aerial image between said semi-reflecting plate and said observation area, a projector adapted to project a light beam toward one of said first display device and second display device, said first image capture device being adapted to capture an image of said observation area through said one display device, and means for alternating capture of said image of said observation area by said first image capture device and projection of the light beam projected by said projector, the aerial image displayed in one of said two optical systems corresponding to the observation area image captured by the first image capture device of the other of said two optical systems.
