Stereoscopic video system
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A headset for stereoscopic video viewing comprising:
- a. video input means for directly coupling to a source of two different monoscopic video images to be viewed by a user corresponding to the different views by a human'"'"'s eyes of an original object, the video input means comprising two optical coupling means each mountable over a different video image source and each having multiplex means including at least two output ports to enable the simultaneous viewing of the images thereof by more than one user at a given time;
b. flexible fiber optic means having releasable coupling means at one end for connecting same to one output port of each optical coupling means for separately transmitting the two different monoscopic video images side-by-side; and
c. video output means connected to the other end of the fiber optic means for directly coupling each of the two monoscopic video images to a different eye of the user and wherein the flexible fiber optic means provides a non-rigid connection between the video input and output means.

Abstract
A stereoscopic video system includes the generation or simulation of two different monoscopic video images corresponding to the different views by a human'"'"'s eyes of an original object and two display units for separately displaying the two monoscopic images. The two monoscopic images are flexibly coupled separately and directly from the display units to the eyes of a user by a headset.

7. A stereoscopic video system comprising:
-
a. means receptive of two different frequency monoscopic video image carrier signals, corresponding to the different views by a human'"'"'s eyes of an original object, for separately displaying the two monoscopic images, the displaying means comprising first and second receiving channels each including means receptive of one carrier signal for obtaining an audio and video signal therefrom and a cathode ray tube for displaying the image corresponding to the video signal, wherein the means of the first channel comprises a VHF tuner and receiver and the means of the second channel comprises a UHF tuner and receiver; b. a main speaker, a main picture tube in addition to the two cathode ray tubes and switching means for applying the video and audio signals alternatively from the UHF and VHF channels, to the main picture tube and main speaker respectively; and c. means for flexibly coupling the two monoscopic images separately and directly from the displaying means to the eyes of a user, including two optical coupling means each connected over the screen of a different one of the two tubes. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
