Abstract
A steerable motor vehicle is remotely controlled by a human operator at a remote control station with the operator being supplied with three-dimensional realistic visual representations of scenes in the vicinity of the vehicle to allow him to exercise more accurate control of the vehicle taking into account objects and other features occurring in the environment immediately encountered by the vehicle. The vehicle carries two vehicle cameras for binocularly viewing scenes, and the viewed scenes are transmitted by RF communication links to the remote control station where the scenes are recreated on two display screens, forming part of a virtual reality headset worn by the operator, viewed separately by separate eyes of the operator to create a three-dimensional and realistic impression of the scenes seen by the two cameras.
