Stereoscopic helmet display
First Claim
1. A welding-type system, comprising:
- a helmet comprising;
a first image capture device configured to capture a first set of images of a work area from a first perspective during a welding operation;
a second image capture device configured to capture a second set of images of the work area from a second perspective during the welding operation;
an electronic display configured to display the first and second sets of images substantially simultaneously to cause a stereoscopic appearance of the work area depicting the welding operation via the electronic display during the welding operation; and
a processing system communicatively coupled to the helmet and configured to adjust at least one parameter of a power supply based at least in part on feedback received from the helmet andan energy harvesting unit that captures light from the welding operation and converts the light into energy that is used in displaying the first and second sets of images.

Abstract
A welding-type system includes a helmet having a first image capture device configured to capture a first set of images of a work area from a first perspective and a second image capture device configured to capture a second set of images of the work area from a second perspective. The helmet also includes an electronic display configured to display the first and second sets of images substantially simultaneously to cause a stereoscopic appearance of the work area via the electronic display. Moreover, the helmet includes an audible command translation unit configured to receive audible commands configured to adjust operation of a power supply configured to supply power for the welding-type system. Furthermore, the welding-type system includes a processing system communicatively coupled to the audible command translation unit and configured to adjust at least one parameter of the power supply based at least in part on the received audible commands.

16. A welding-type system, comprising:
-
a helmet comprising; a first image capture device configured to capture a first set of images of a work area from a first perspective during a welding operation; a second image capture device configured to capture a second set of images of the work area from a second perspective during the welding operation; an electronic display configured to display the first and second sets of images substantially simultaneously to cause a stereoscopic appearance of the work area depicting the welding operation via the electronic display during the welding operation; and a processing system communicatively coupled to the helmet and configured to adjust at least one parameter of a power supply based at least in part on feedback received from the helmet and an energy harvesting unit that captures kinetic movement of the helmet and converts the kinetic movement into energy that is used in displaying the first and second sets of images. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
