The present invention is a fully functional hand held computer having a see through display. An external viewing arrangement such as a monocular scope, is used to view the operator's immediate surroundings. Optical images from the scope are superimposed with digital images from a miniature computer display. The resultant image allows the operator to look through the device and view his surrounding while simultaneously viewing and operating the software based applications. The entire device is held like a pair of binoculars and mouse like controls are located adjacent the operator's gripping position.

Why it's free to use
- Filed September 23, 1999. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended September 23, 2019.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 23, 2021.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
