Development of a Head and Eye Slaved Display System for a Rotary Wing Research Simulator

Abstract

In order to meet the demanding visual requirements for flight simulation research on rotary-wing combat, an approach was devised to control both display resolution and computer image level of detail based on eye point of regard in a fiber optic helmet mounted display. In support of that goal, a helmet-mounted eye tracking system was custom developed. This paper discusses the design requirements and performance considerations involved in the implementation of such a system.
