Abstract: Methods and systems for operating a vehicular near-to-eye (NTE) display screen operable within an operational range limit are provided. An image is rendering on the NTE display screen within a predefined visibility range. The predefined visibility range is within the operational range limit. A luminance of at least a portion of the image is reduced in response to the NTE display screen being moved outside of the predefined visibility range and within the operational range limit.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling a proximity display system by providing the ability to rapidly blank and un-blank the display is provided. The system and method enable modifying, blanking and un-blanking in response to the detected location of the viewer's eye. The system and method optionally provide the viewer with cueing information that directs the viewer's eye toward the eyebox in response to detecting that the viewer's eye is out of the eyebox.

Abstract: A variable focus stereoscopic display system includes first and second lenses positioned between a viewer's eyes and a stereoscopic display that alters the distance to the focus plane of the viewer based on the vergence of the viewer's eyes while viewing the stereoscopic display.

Abstract: Methods and systems for operating an avionics system are provided. A predefined set of movements of a headset is detected. In response to the detection of the set of movements, one or more various functions are performed.

Abstract: Methods and systems for operating a display device associated with a vehicle are provided. A first image is caused to be displayed on the display device. The first image is at least representative of an actual terrain over which the vehicle is navigating. A second image is rendered over the first image on the display device. The second image includes a digital navigation corridor boundary corresponding to an actual navigation corridor boundary of an actual navigation corridor in which the vehicle is navigating. A luminance of at least a portion the digital navigation boundary on the display device is increased based on a proximity of a trajectory of the vehicle to the actual navigation corridor boundary.

Abstract: A method and a system are provided for adaptive vehicle operation. The method includes the steps of sensing a position and an orientation of a near-to-eye display device worn by the vehicle operator, determining a direction of gaze of the vehicle operator in response to the position and the orientation of the near-to-eye display device, and selectively generating an alert signal in response to the direction of gaze of the vehicle operator.

Abstract: A near-to-eye display allows an operator of a vehicle, such as a pilot of an aircraft, to see an obstacle on a conformal pathway, such as a runway or taxiway. The obstacle may be boundaries of the pathway or an object captured by an optional Infrared camera.

Abstract: A near-to-eye (NTE) display allows an operator of an apparatus, such as a pilot of an aircraft, to see a conformal video presentation of the view outside the apparatus. Significant objects outside are converted into a conformal video view. An accelerator measures movement and rate of movement of the NTE display positioned on the operator's head, and if the movement and rate exceed a threshold, either ceases the continued display, removes, or deemphasizes the conformal image, for the period of the delay in order to eliminate any jerky or jittery motion of the displayed conformal image, which may be distracting, irritating, or headache inducing to the pilot.

Abstract: A flight display system is provided for deployment on a host aircraft including at least one obstacle-tracking data source. In one embodiment, the flight display system includes a display device and a controller. The controller is configured to be coupled to the obstacle-tracking data source and to receive data therefrom indicating the current position of a navigational obstacle. The controller is operably coupled to the display device and is configured to generate thereon an obstacle position indicator (OPI) graphic indicating the current position of the navigational obstacle relative to the current field of view of the display device.
