Low-Cost, Eye Limiting Resolution, Immersive Display

Advanced Simulation Displays (ASD) proposes to leverage the work already accomplished building seamless wide field of view displays utilizing commerical flat panel display technology. Three of these systems have been build and delivered utilizing fifty inch plasma panels combined to provide a seamless scene for UH-1H simulators. In addition, ASD is under contract to build three channel seamless plasma displays for the Navy's P3 TORT program. All of these systems that have been developed to date, implement technology developed and is currently patent pending, to tile flat panel displays in either the horizontal or vertical direction. This proposal takes the technology developed by ASD and extends it to allow seamless tiling in both the horizontal and vertical directions simultaneously. In addition, to extending the horizontal and vertical fields of view, at least one display channel will be augmented with a secondary flat panel which will be incorporated into the baseline design to provide 3D stereo imagery in a limted viewing area to support close in visual training tasks. The entire display can also be vertically pivoted to place the display in the optimum postion as required for each training task.
