Wide-Angle, Multiviewer Infinity Display Design.

Abstract

A research design study was undertaken to define an extend field of view (60 x 180) infinity image display, suitable for multiviewer use on wide-bodied aircraft simulators. Mosaicking of single channel units, both reflective and refractive was investigated, along with extended field, off-axis reflective systems. Major emphasis was placed on the investigation of extended field of view, off-axis reflective systems. Various figured screen and mirror combinations, ranging from spherical to high order aspherics, were designed and evaluated. Two specific designs were selected, optimized and evaluated over an extended viewing volume. (Author)
