360 Degrees Non-Programmed Visual System.
Abstract
A system is disclosed for displaying a life or other size replica of a modelboard or other scene in a non-programmed and real or other time manner, whereby said displayed replica constitutes a realistic ambient environmental simulation which may be used to facilitate the training of people in various and sundry situations, such as, for example, in piloting aircraft, tanks, automobiles, and other automotive devices, and the like. As disclosed, a modelboard scene is optically observed by a unique annular probe which forms an annular optical image thereof, rotates said annular optical image, and then timely converts it to a plurality of electrical signals proportional thereto.
