Advanced Features of the NVIS Virtual Binocular SX
Mechanical features include focus adjustment, inter-ocular
distance adjustment, and mouse-compatible buttons on the top
of the unit.
The buttons can be programmed using any software
tool kit that supports mouse gestures. Uses for the buttons
include toggling reticules and indicators, zoom control, and
motion control in virtual environments.
The Virtual Binoculars are housed in a rugged, lightweight
plastic housing. Underneath is a standard-threaded tripod
mount for statically mounting the binoculars using off-the-shelf
fixtures. The binocular display system is designed for easy and
unobtrusive mounting of tracking sensors internally or externally.
The system can be adapted on a custom basis to simulate
practically any binocular optical instrument. Successful
implementations include simulated endoscope eyepieces,
spotting scopes, and a number of vehicle-mounted sighting
systems.
