ABSTRACT:
The invention is an optical device, similar to a pair of binoculars, which includes, between the objective lens and the eyepiece a miniature screen displaying an image controlled by a computer, and an optical reflex device capable of superimposing the screen image on the image seen through the objective lens. The device also includes, selectively or cumulatively, a variable light attenuator, a light amplifier for night vision, sensors to detect the line of sight of the optical device, and a computer which can also be selectively or cumulatively connected to a localization receiver of the "global positioning system" type and a transceiver. The device can be used to add further information on geographic positions, friends, enemies, infrared images, etc. into the scene seen through the binoculars.
