FLIGHT SIMULATOR VISUAL DISPLAY APPARATUS

摘要

The invention provides line scanning and frame scanning apparatus for the projection of images, particularly for head-coupled area-of-interest visual display apparatus for ground-based flight simulators. The line scan apparatus is cockpit-mounted and comprises a modulated laser beam which is scanned over a line of fibre optic guides forming a ribbon by which the line image is transmitted to a helmetmounted frame scanner. Sensing means detects head/helmet movement to permit voluntary scanning of a wide angle of simulated view from the craft. The invention permits of light-weight helmet-mounted equipment for this purpose. P.2096/1
