System for the remote assistance of an operator during a work stage
First Claim
1. Interface system for assisting an operator during a work stage, comprising:
- a support structure wearable by the operator, on which is arranged at least one transparent screen element suitable for being placed in front of at least one of the operator'"'"'s eyes to permit the operator to see at least one portion of the background;
virtual image generating means suitable for producing an optical signal directed towards the operator'"'"'s retina in such a way as to form a virtual image at a predetermined distance from the operator'"'"'s eyes and superimposed on said background;
recording means integral with the operator'"'"'s head, suitable for recording at least part of the operator'"'"'s visual field and making available a signal representative of said visual field;
processing means suitable for processing said signal from the recording means and generating a visual information signal of use to the operator for carrying out said work stage; and
means of reception/transmission suitable for sending said signal from the recording means to said processing means and as a consequence rendering said information signal to said virtual image generating means, in such a way as to provide the operator with visual information relating to said work stage superimposed on said visual field of the operator.

Abstract
Interface system for assisting an operator during a work stage comprising a support structure wearable by the operator, with a transparent screen placed in front of the operator'"'"'s eyes to permit him to see a portion of a background; a virtual image generator for producing an optical signal directed towards the operator'"'"'s retina so as to form a virtual image at a predetermined distance from the operator'"'"'s eyes and superimposed on the background; a recording device integral with the operator'"'"'s head, to record part of the operator'"'"'s visual field and make available a signal representative of the visual field; a processing device for processing the signal from the recording device and generating a visual information signal of use to the operator for carrying out the work stage; and a device of reception/transmission for sending the signal from the recording device to the processing device, and rendering the information signal to the virtual image generator.
