Abstract
A method and system are disclosed for stereoscopic three dimensional (S3D) display of synthetic environment (SE) data simultaneously with operational symbology data to the operator of a vehicle. The method receives a plurality of data objects and places the objects within a plurality of levels of a presentation hierarchy and further within a plurality of S3D depth layers based on a set of data and operator focused rules. The method simultaneously displays to the operator each of the plurality of objects in the plurality of S3D depth layers according to the placement. The method transitions an object from one depth layer to a more proximal or distal depth layer to indicate relative motion or urgency. The method reserves a depth layer most proximal to the operator for a warning while a most distal set of depth layers is reserved for SE objects.
