A superimposing image apparatus for superimposing a first view on a second view, including an optical imaging system which has a given focal length, an image plane and given field of view which encompasses the second view, and an arrangement for translationally moving a first mirror within the aforesaid field of view and positioned so as to project at least a part of the first view into the lens system, superimposed on the second view.
In accordance with a second feature, there is provided a superimposed image apparatus wherein at least one of the first and second views is disposed at the given focal length of the lens system.
In accordance with still another feature, there is provided superimposing image apparatus which includes a second mirror disposed outside the field of view for reflecting the first view onto the first mirror.
In accordance with yet another feature, there is provided a superimposing image apparatus wherein the translation apparatus for translationally supporting the first mirror has at least one linear axis of translation.
The invention may further include apparatus wherein the translation apparatus has a sheet of transparent material for mounting the first mirror, wherein the sheet of transparent material is attached to the apparatus for translationally moving the first mirror, and the invention may optionally include apparatus wherein the first mirror is partially transparent and/or tinted.
