Abstract

A physician performing a physical examination can miss subtle abnormalities, such as alterations of respiratory rate or dangerous skin lesion. A surgeon performing surgery can miss small areas of bleeding or tumor implants. This invention comprises head display unit comprising sensors that gathers data and in real time analyzes the data for potential hazards and alerts the user of a potential hazardous scenario.

Claims (43)

1. A head display unit (HDU) comprising:

a processor;

a head tracking device configured to track movements of a user's head;

a lidar device configured to scan an area wherein said lidar device has an adjustable vertical angle and an adjustable horizontal angle;

a left eye display operably connected to the processor;

a right eye display operably connected to the processor;

a non-transitory memory having computer-executable instructions stored thereupon which, when executed by the processor of the head display unit, cause the HDU to:

use said lidar device to perform scanning of said area

wherein data from said perform scanning of said area by said lidar device is used to generate a 3D dataset, and

wherein said 3D dataset represents said area;

generate a 3D representation of said 3D dataset wherein said 3D representation is superimposed on said area; and

display said 3D representation stereoscopically to said user

wherein said HDU causes a first image of said 3D representation to be displayed on said left eye display and causes a second image of said 3D representation to be displayed on said right eye display,

wherein said first image is aligned with a left eye of said user, and

wherein the second image is aligned with a right eye of said user.

2. The HDU of claim 1 further comprising determining if an adverse event scenario is present.

3. The HDU of claim 2 further comprising wherein the adverse event scenario includes a dangerous observation during surgery.

4. The HDU of claim 2 further comprising wherein the adverse event scenario includes a dangerous observation during driving.

5. The HDU of claim 2 further comprising wherein the adverse event scenario includes a dangerous event when walking.

6. The HDU of claim 2 further comprising wherein the adverse event scenario includes a household scenario.

7. The HDU of claim 2 further comprising wherein the adverse event scenario includes a sports scenario.

8. The HDU of claim 2 further comprising wherein the adverse event scenario includes an occupation scenario.

9. A method of alerting a user of a hazardous scenario comprising:

generating a database comprising:

a list of adverse event scenarios; and

finding(s) corresponding to each adverse event scenario in said list of adverse event scenarios;

performing scanning of area using a lidar device,

wherein said lidar device is located on a head display unit (HDU),

wherein said lidar device has an adjustable vertical angle and an adjustable horizontal angle, and

wherein data from said performing scanning of said area using said lidar device is used to generate a 3D dataset,

performing an analysis of said 3D dataset to determine if said 3D dataset contains finding(s) predictive of an adverse event scenario in said list of adverse event scenarios; and

if said analysis predicts an adverse event scenario, alerting said user wearing said HDU by at least one of the group consisting of:

a visual alert notification wherein said HDU causes a first image to be displayed on a left eye display of said HDU and causes a second image to be displayed on a right eye display of said HDU

wherein the first image is aligned with a left eye of said user, and

wherein the second image is aligned with a right eye of said user; and

an audio alert notification from at least one speaker.

10. The method of claim 9 further comprising wherein the adverse event scenario includes a dangerous physical examination finding of a patient.

11. The method of claim 9 further comprising wherein the adverse event scenario includes a dangerous observation during surgery.

12. The method of claim 9 further comprising wherein the adverse event scenario includes a dangerous observation during driving.

13. The method of claim 9 further comprising wherein the adverse event scenario includes a dangerous event when walking.

14. The method of claim 9 further comprising wherein the adverse event scenario includes a household scenario.

15. The method of claim 9 further comprising wherein the adverse event scenario includes a sports scenario.

16. The method of claim 9 further comprising wherein the adverse event scenario includes an occupation scenario.
