TEST DEVICE FOR VISION SYSTEMS

Testing apparatus and method for testing visual systems, e.g., augmented visual systems, having a viewing unit. The testing apparatus includes a moveable holding device, which is structured to hold the viewing unit and to move the viewing unit with a rotational degree of freedom; a position detection unit structured to detect a position and an alignment of the viewing unit; and a test-conducting unit coupled to receive a detected position and an alignment of the viewing unit from the position detection unit. The test-conducting unit is configured to determine a field of view as a function of the detected position and alignment of the viewing unit, to read-in an actual field of view displayed by the viewing unit and to compare the determined field of view with the read-in actual field of view.
