Method and system for displaying virtual environment during in-flight simulation. A simulation environment is selected for a training simulation of an airborne platform operating in flight within a real environment. The position and orientation of a display viewable by an operator of the airborne platform is determined with respect to the selected simulation environment. The display displays at least one simulation image comprising a view from a virtual altitude of simulation environmental terrain in the selected simulation environment, while the airborne platform is in flight at a real altitude above the real environmental terrain in the real environment, the virtual altitude above the simulation environmental terrain being a lower altitude than the real altitude above the real environmental terrain. The simulation image is displayed in accordance with the determined position and orientation of the display, such that the simulation environment is adaptive to operator manipulations of the airborne platform.

System and method for supporting simulated movement

A method includes receiving state information of a virtual movable object in a simulated movement from a movement simulator associated with a movable object and determining movement information for the simulated movement by associating the state information with context information. The state information includes information identifying a location of the virtual movable object in a virtual space. The context information includes information identifying a location of the user terminal, which is at a different location than the movable object in a real space. The method further includes displaying the simulated movement on a display associated with the user terminal based on the movement information, and receiving control data to control the simulated movement in the virtual space using the user terminal when the movable object is in simulation and to control movement of the movable object in the real space when the movable object is in real operation.

Systems and methods for remotely operated machine training
11132919 · 2021-09-28 ·

The present disclosure describes systems and methods for training a user to control one or more simulated remotely operated machines. A network stream definition language file is used to identify and process simulated remotely operated machine data exchanged between a simulation computing device and a plurality of simulation stations, possibly being defined by many different Interface Control Documents (ICDs). Any exchange of simulated remotely operated machine data between the simulation computing device and a simulation station passes through a protocol gateway that implements the network stream definition language file. The protocol gateway is located at any point of the communication between the simulation computing device and the simulation station. Because the network stream definition language file configures the protocol gateway to process data between the simulation computing device and the plurality of simulation stations, each potentially having respective proprietary ICDs, only a single protocol gateway is necessary within the system.
