Positioning device for positioning a user by using both eyes as position markers
View Patent ↗A user positioning device comprising a stand ( 1 ) carrying two positioning markers ( 5 ) that are disposed so that each can be seen by a respective one of the eyes of a user, when the user is positioned correctly, and means ( 7 ) for forming a light path between each of the eyes of the user and the corresponding positioning marker, the light paths being optically separate from each other relative to the eyes of the user.
1. A user positioning device comprising a stand carrying two positioning markers that are disposed so that each can be seen by a respective one of the eyes of a user, when the user is positioned correctly and two repositioning markers that are disposed so that one of each can be seen by a respective one of the eyes of the user when the user is not positioned correctly, and means for forming a light path between each of the eyes of the user and the corresponding positioning marker, the light paths being optically separate from each other relative to the eyes of the user.
2. A device according to claim 1 , wherein the means for forming the light paths comprise a prism that is reflective, at least in part, the positioning markers and the prism being mounted on the stand in such a manner that the prism has surfaces that substantially face respective positioning markers in order to reflect each positioning marker towards the corresponding eye of the user.
3. A device according to claim 1 , wherein the means for defining the light paths comprise filter means.
4. A device according to claim 3 , wherein the filter means comprise two polarizers of a first type that are disposed one in front of the other in register with one of the positioning markers, and two polarizers of a second type that are disposed one in front of the other in register with the other one of the positioning markers.
