1. A wearable optical system, comprising:
- a user wearable frame comprising a centered viewing portion comprising a display that is viewable by a user via a horizontal optical path; and
a vision redirecting mechanism defining a work area optical path in optical communication with the viewing portion, the horizontal optical path and the work area optical path being different optical paths, wherein the vision redirecting mechanism or the viewing portion magnifies an image passed through the work area optical path wherein the optical communication comprises data transmission of an image obtained by a camera comprised in the vision redirecting mechanism to the viewing portion, anda light source configured to emit a light signal that is coextensive with the work area optical path,wherein the vision redirecting mechanism is comprised in a cantilevered vision directing mechanism on an imaging extension whereby a position of the camera relative to the user wearable frame is adjustable on a horizontal plane parallel to the horizontal optical path.

16. A wearable optical system, comprising:
-
a user wearable frame comprising a viewing portion comprising a display defining a horizontal optical path for the user, wherein the display comprises an inner surface and an outer surface and the outer surface comprises smart glass; and a vision redirecting mechanism that redirects the horizontal optical path to a second optical path defined by a downward angle versus the horizontal optical path, wherein the vision redirecting mechanism magnifies an image passed through the second optical path and the horizontal optical path, wherein a camera is comprised in the vision redirecting mechanism, and a light source configured to emit a light signal that is coextensive with the second optical path. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
