For my project I am doing a type of monocular on a head mounted set. This is for use in paranormal investigations (aka ghost hunting). The main setup will be an IR camera, microphone and maybe a thermal camera (I am still looking at prices to find the right one). There will be a small lcd screen mounted in front of the eye with the camera on a pan and tilt mount. When set correctly for the user it should give almost Augmented Reality. The RPi will do many things record the video and audio (for later analysis) but also it will control the pan and tilt mount. The name Visius Sancto is Latin for Ghost Sight. It is believed by many that IR and or thermal cameras can pick up these paranormal events that the human eye cannot see. It is my home that if this is successful that the user will be about to see these in real time. This would not only allow better understanding but also better research. I am hoping to make the finished product look like a one eyed version of "The Schufftein Glasses" from "Hellboy 2: The Golden Army" (see picture below). Please feel free to post any questions or comments that you have about my project.
