NIGHT VISION GOGGLES AIDED FLIGHT SIMULATOR SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A night vision goggles aided flight simulator system (100) and method for simulating night flight operations. The system comprises a computer (5) programmed with flight simulator software to calculate a flight simulator image (A1,A2); a projection screen (1) configured to receive the flight simulator image (A1,A2); a light projector (2) configured to project the flight simulator image (A1,A2) onto the projection screen (1); and a view tracking device (3) configured to measure a viewing vector (V) of a night vision device (4). The system (100) is configured to mask the projected flight simulator image (A1,A2) as a function of the measured viewing vector (V).
