Augmented reality-based system and method to show the location of personnel and sensors inside occluded structures and provide increased situation awareness

TLDR
In this article, an augmented reality system provides enhanced situational information to personnel located within an environment by using a tracking system that obtains viewpoint information corresponding to a real-time view of the environment.
Abstract
An augmented reality system provides enhanced situational information to personnel located within an environment. A tracking system obtains viewpoint information corresponding to a real-time view of said environment. A processing system receives information from one or more sensors. Information includes sensor location information and status information about the environment and personnel therein. The processing system generates graphics using the sensor location information and the viewpoint information. Graphics include visual representations of said status information. A display displays the generated graphics on a display at a supervisor station that is outside of said environment such that graphics are superimposed on the real-time view.

Surgical microscope unit

TL;DR: In this paper, a surgical microscope unit which is compact and operated lightly at high stability has interlocking mechanisms for interlocking the first and second parallelogrammic linkages, a counterweight connected to an arm of the second parallel logrammic linkage, flexible movement transmitting members for transmitting tilting movements of the microscope body around pivot axes directly to a tilting rod as tilting movement around pivot axis at the same ratio, and a movement controlling mechanism for limiting a moving locus of the tilting rods to a corresponding location at which the microscope unit is set.
