Abstract
The rear vision system was invented to allow a bicycle, motorcycle rider, or an operator of any vehicle to safely and easily check his rear view without requiring the rider'"'"'s head to be in a predetermined position. The system is comprised of a video camera which is mounted to a vehicle and facing its rear view and a head-mounted display which is connected to the video camera'"'"'s output video signal. The head-mounted display is worn on the rider'"'"'s head and allows the rider to see his rear view by simply glancing at the digital image, which is projected from the head-mounted display.
