A system is disclosed which utilizes a three-dimensional (3D) display system, in combination with an avionics Synthetic Vision System (SVIS), to provide 3D synthetic images of scenes around an aircraft where the systems are dynamically modified to meet particular needs of a flight crew, depending upon variable characteristics of the aircraft and environment including: phase of flight of the aircraft; attitude of the aircraft; proximity of the aircraft to Degraded Visual Environment (DVE) conditions; whether the 3D display system is an head-down display (HDD) or an immersive head-mounted display (HMD); and whether the 3D display system is an head-up display (HUD) or an HMD with a transparent visor.

Dual simultaneous image presentation for a three-dimensional aviation display

An aviation display system includes an input source configured to provide a left eye input channel including a first band and an input source configured to provide a right eye input channel having a second band different from the first band. A processor is coupled with the input sources and with a non-transitory processor readable medium storing processor executable code, which causes the processor to receive data indicative of the left eye and right eye input channels from the input sources and to generate a left eye output channel and a right eye output channel. A display is configured to receive the left and right eye output channels from the processor and to provide an image indicative of the left eye output channel to a left eye of a user, and an image indicative of the right eye output channel to a right eye of the user.

Aviation display system and method

Methods and systems for indicating boundaries of a volume of space are disclosed. A method may include: providing a first pair of indicators positioned to visually indicate boundaries of a predefined volume of space with respect to a first axis; providing a second pair of indicators positioned to visually indicate boundaries of the predefined volume of space with respect to a second axis; and configuring the first pair of indicators and the second pair of indicators to provide a first type of visual indication visible to a viewer from positions outside of the predefined volume of space. The methods and systems may be utilized for indicating boundaries of a volume of space for proper and/or improper viewing of a display device.
