Display arrangement for presenting virtual video scenario in vehicle
The granted patent (Publication Number: US11972041B2) discloses a display arrangement designed to present a virtual video scenario to a human operator in a vehicle. The display unit, equipped with sensors, is attached to the operator's head and capable of sensing spatial movement information. A control unit generates the virtual video scenario based on background and application video data, adjusting the display based on the operator's and vehicle's movements to create an immersive experience. The system allows for modifications to the background and application video data to align with the operator's perspective and the vehicle's movements, enhancing the realism of the virtual scenario.
Furthermore, the patent includes claims related to the sensors' ability to detect rotational movements along spatial axes, the representation of background video data as a spherical artificial horizon, and the overlay of application video data on the background. The control unit is responsible for determining the relative movement of the display unit with respect to the vehicle and adjusting the application video data accordingly. The patent also extends to the integration of this display arrangement into a vehicle, particularly an aircraft, as part of a video workstation for the operator. The fixed attachment of the second sensor to the vehicle ensures accurate tracking of the vehicle's movements, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the display arrangement in providing a realistic and interactive virtual video scenario for the operator.
