Computer Activated Electroluminescent Display Screen. Application of Light and Image Intensification Techniques, Phase I

摘要

The report studies techniques necessary for a computer-activated, wide-angle display system capable of generating scenes. Ultimately, a universally useful training module would result enabling the adaption of the system to vehicle simulation. The objects to be displayed exist in computer storage. Perspective equations are utilized by a computer to provide a two-dimensional display in true perspective of static and dynamic figures on a non-programmed wide-angle display. The display is updated in a way determined by the position and orientation of a trainee during a simulated flight. The display screen is of the electroluminescent cross-grid type. A breadboard model was constructed to demonstrate the feasibility of the overall system recommended by the study phase, and to provide a research tool for additional system study. The breadboard model has been used to generate dynamic displays of two solid objects with changing perspective. A digital computer was ued as a tool to solve the perspective equations and represent the objects via the breadboard as they appear from a continuously moving point in space.
