Abstract: A system for generating an augmented reality image using an initial image comprising a reference element, the system comprising: an image analyzer for identifying the reference element within the initial image; an image generating unit for: generating a simulation image of a scene of a virtual environment based on the identified reference element, an outline of the simulation image corresponding to the reference outline; overlaying the initial image with the simulation image to obtain the augmented reality image; and providing the augmented reality image for display.

Abstract: A display system for a simulator comprising: a first display for displaying a simulated scene, the first display being positionable away from a user; a second display for displaying a portion of the simulated scene, the second display being wearable by the user; at least one camera for capturing video images along a line of view of the user; a filter for filtering a portion of a field of view of the user; and a control unit configured for: receiving environment images, the environment images comprising a first set of images of the simulated scene, a second set of images of the simulated scene and at least a third set of images of a portion of the simulated scene; displaying the first and second set of images on the first display; generating augmented reality images based on the video images and the at least a third set of images; and displaying the augmented reality images on the second display.

Abstract: A display system for a simulator comprising: a main display for displaying a simulated scene, the first display being positionable away from a user; a see-through display for displaying a portion of the simulated scene, the see-through display being wearable by the user; a filter for filtering a portion of a field of view of the user; and a control unit configured for: receiving environment images, the environment images comprising a first set of images of the simulated scene, a second set of images of the simulated scene and a third set of images of at least a portion of the simulated scene; displaying the first and second set of images on the first display; and displaying the third set of images on the see-through display.
