Abstract
Systems of the present disclosure may include one or more of an optical overlay device, which may include one or more of an imaging optic to receive incoming light from a scene, and project at least a portion of the incoming light onto an imaging sensor; an imaging sensor to transduce into image data the light projected onto it by the imaging optic; a processing engine electrically coupled with a non-transitory computer readable medium having machine readable instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by the processing engine, cause the system to: generate a scaled overlay image based on the image data and a magnification parameter; a display device configured to project the scaled overlay image through a display optic toward a portion of a beam-combiner; a coupling mechanism to enable releasable attachment of the optical overlay device with a primary viewing device.
