Limitations of a Holographic 3-D Pixel Projector for Cockpit Displays

Abstract

One popular approach to increasing the combat capability of an aircraft is to reduce the pilot workload imposed by the interpretation of large quantities of displayed data into useful information. One facet of that workload is the mental exercise required by the pilot to visualize his dynamic three dimensional (3-D) environment given data presented on two dimensional (2-D) cockpit displays. It is therefore a primary thrust of cockpit research to explore, develop and test new display devices which can present data with the full 3-D image characteristics of stereopsis, full look-around and ocular accommodation so that the magnitude of required mental visualization is greatly reduced.
