Abstract
An apparatus (10) simulates scenic translation and comprises simulator controls (64) which generate signals (18-26) corresponding to the horizontal position of a vehicle. Video storage unit (12) generates a raster (54) including video information (58) representing a scene to be viewed. A microprocessor (65) responsive to the simulator controls generates control signals for selecting a portion (50 or 52) of said raster corresponding to the position of the vehicle. Horizontal and vertical delay gates (112,114) responsive to the microprocessor select a portion of each line in said raster. A video monitor displays the selected portions.
