  • Patent number: 11902499
    Abstract: Simulation sighting binoculars include a camera, a screen, a pair of lenses which are arranged to face the screen, and electronic circuitry which is configured to: obtain a video frame from the camera; transmit, to a simulation platform, geolocation information and orientation information for the camera; receive simulation graphical elements and spatial positioning information for corresponding virtual objects; carry out a two-dimensional rendering of the virtual objects, in order to display them in a projection window E2; superimpose the two-dimensional rendering of the virtual objects in the projection window E2 and the video frame in a projection window E3; obtain a mixed-reality stereoscopic image using a pair of virtual cameras reproducing binocular vision which is adapted to the pair of lenses; and carry out, on the screen, a right-eye and left-eye display of the obtained mixed-reality stereoscopic image.

  • Patent number: 10032386
    Abstract: A method for implementing a simulation test comprising generating a first simulation context comprising a display of a first portion of a first virtual environment defined over 360° on a screen, the portion being projected over an angle of 180° and an avatar generated at a GPS position in the virtual environment. A generation of a second simulation context is activated comprising retrieving the position of the head and its orientation from a sensor, generating a second portion of the first virtual environment computed according to the position and orientation of the captured head, displaying the second portion on an optical unit of the helmet. The first and second portions coincide over an angle corresponding to that of the second portion for at least one position and one orientation of the predefined head.
