An adequate display operation control in accordance with the external world situation is realized For example, where a user wears the wearing unit of a spectacle-shaped or head-worn unit, the user is made to be able to view any type of image on the display section immediately in front of the eyes, and provided with taken images, reproduced images, and received images At the point, a control relative to various display operations such as on/off of the display operation, display operation mode, and source chage is carried out based on external world information

Display apparatus and display method

There is provided a transparent wearable data display comprising: a source of collimated light; a means for deflecting said collimated light into a scanned beam; a first array comprising one column and integer N TOWS of switchable grating elements sandwiched between first and second parallel transparent substrates, the substrates together functioning as a first light guide; an second array comprising M columns and N rows of switchable grating elements sandwiched between third and fourth, parallel transparent substrates the substrates together functioning as a second light guide; transparent electrodes applied to opposing faces of the first and second and the third and fourth substrates. Hie apparatus further comprises a first coupling means tor directing the scanned beam into a first TIR light path between the outer surfaces of the first lightguide along the first array column; and a second coupling means for directing the first HR light into a second TIR path between the outer surfaces of the second lightguide along a row of elements of the second array.

A method of increasing situational awareness of terrain is disclosed. A representation of a terrain feature is generated from a source of stored data. A distance from a reference point to the terrain feature is determined. The representation of the terrain feature is attenuated if the distance from the reference point to the terrain feature is within a predetermined range. The representation of the terrain feature is displayed.

A novel and non-trivial system and methods for displaying partial images and non-overlapping images acquired by vision systems representing scene is disclosed. A system is disclosed for displaying partial images and shared, non-overlapping images on a display comprises a forward-looking imaging device system, an image system, a terrain rendering processor, and an indicating system. The terrain rendering processor determines, based on visibility data, which part of an image of one system will be displayed. A method is disclosed for displaying a partial image on a display unit. A terrain rendering processor determines acceptable and unacceptable visibility data based on contrast data of first image data, and based on such determination, presents image data corresponding to unacceptable data to the indicating system for presentation on a display unit. A second method is disclosed for displaying two images on a display unit of an aircraft. A terrain rendering processor determines acceptable and unacceptable visibility data based on contrast data of first image data, and based on such determination, presents image data corresponding to both acceptable and unacceptable data to the indicating system for presentation on a display unit.

A display system for a vehicle is provided. The display system includes a display configured to render a representation of an intended vehicle path. At least one relative speed indicator is rendered upon the display. The at least one relative speed indicator is configured to move along the representation of the intended vehicle path, in an area of the display that is peripheral to a focus area of the display, in response to a difference between an actual value of a speed-based parameter and a preferred value of a speed-based parameter of the vehicle.

Accident statistics cite the flight crew as a causal factor in over 60% of accidents involving transport category airplanes. Yet, a well-trained and well-qualified pilot is acknowledged as the critical center point of aircraft systems safety and an integral safety component of the entire commercial aviation system. No data currently exists that quantifies the contribution of the flight crew in this role. Neither does data exist for how often the flight crew handles non-normal procedures or system failures on a daily basis in the National Airspace System. A pilot-in-the-loop high fidelity motion simulation study was conducted by the NASA Langley Research Center in partnership with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to evaluate the pilot's contribution to flight safety during normal flight and in response to aircraft system failures. Eighteen crews flew various normal and non-normal procedures over a two-day period and their actions were recorded in response to failures. To quantify the human's contribution, crew complement was used as the experiment independent variable in a between-subjects design. Pilot actions and performance when one of the flight crew was impaired were also recorded for comparison against the nominal two-crew operations. This paper details a portion of the results of this study.
