Wearable Video See-Through (VST) devices for Augmented Reality (AR) and for obtaining a Magnified View are taking hold in the medical and surgical fields. However, these devices are not yet usable in daily clinical practice, due to focusing problems and a limited depth of field. This study investigates the use of liquid-lens optics to create an autofocus system for wearable VST visors. The autofocus system is based on a Time of Flight (TOF) distance sensor and an active autofocus control system. The integrated autofocus system in the wearable VST viewers showed good potential in terms of providing rapid focus at various distances and a magnified view.

This paper investigated the ultrasonic mechanism of Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) by finite element analysis for the better applications of ultrasonic TOFD (Time of Flight Diffraction) detection technology. The welding steel plate with the artificial defects is used in the finite element analysis model. The experimental A-scan signal with higher noise is filtered by the wavelet transform, which can clearly show defective diffracted wave. The software simulation of ultrasound is used to present the propagation process of ultrasonic signal inside the sample. Simulation results are compared with the experimental results, which shows valid basis for the practical TOFD ultrasonic detection methods in industrial applications.
