  • Patent number: 9581819
    Abstract: A see-through augmented reality system is disclosed. The system includes a head-wearable frame and a lens. The lens has at least one field-of-view (FOV). A sensor is configured to be coupled with respect to a head of a user. The sensor generates sensor data that changes responsive to movements of the head. A display apparatus is mapped to an interior surface of the lens. A controller is coupled to the sensor and to the display apparatus. The controller is configured to determine a current scene within the FOV based at least in part on the sensor data. The controller determines an out-the-window (OTW) scene portion of the current scene and a non-OTW scene portion of the current scene and generates OTW imagery that depicts the OTW scene portion. The controller causes the display apparatus to emit light in accordance with the OTW imagery toward the interior surface of the lens.

  • Publication number: 20160093230
    Abstract: A domeless simulator is disclosed. The simulator includes a head-mounted display device having a field-of-view (FOV) and a cockpit control surface. An image generation device is coupled to the head-mounted display device and configured to generate imagery of a virtual environment including an out-the-window image component and a cockpit control image component that is registered to the cockpit control surface. A hand track device is configured to sense a location of a hand of a user. A controller is coupled to the hand track device and is configured to determine the location of the hand with respect to the FOV.
