A VR training system includes: training terminals that generates simulation images for simulation training in common VR space and provides the simulation images to trainees individually associated with the training terminals; and a tracking sensor that detects motion of the trainees in real space. Each of the training terminals calculates a position and a posture of a self avatar in VR space based on a detection result of the tracking sensor, acquires position information on a position and a posture of another avatar in the VR space from another training terminal, and generates the another avatar in the VR space based on the acquired position information.

Systems and methods to reduce the appearance of a seam in an image reflected onto a mirror array from a screen is provided. The systems and methods may include a light source to emit light into a seam between a pair of mirrors of the mirror array; a camera for taking a picture of the image displayed on the screen and yielding image data from the picture; and a control system in communication with the light source and the camera. The control system may be operable to cause the light source to emit light of a first color into a first portion of the seam and to emit light of a second color into a second portion of the seam based on the image data, thereby providing colored light in the seam to substantially match colors in the image reflected onto pair of mirrors adjacent to the seam.

Systems, methods, and computer products according to the principles of the present inventions may involve a training system for a pilot of an aircraft. The training system may include an aircraft sensor system affixed to the aircraft adapted to provide a location of the aircraft, including an altitude of the aircraft, speed of the aircraft, and directional attitude of the aircraft. It may further include a helmet position sensor system adapted to determine a location of a helmet within a cockpit of the aircraft and a viewing direction of a pilot wearing the helmet. The helmet may include a see-through computer display through which the pilot sees an environment outside of the aircraft with computer content overlaying the environment to create an augmented reality view of the environment for the pilot. A computer content presentation system may be adapted to present computer content to the see-through computer display at a virtual marker, generated by the computer content presentation system, representing a geospatial position of a training asset moving within a visual range of the pilot, such that the pilot sees the computer content from a perspective consistent with the aircraft's position, altitude, attitude, and the pilot's helmet position when the pilot's viewing direction is aligned with the virtual marker.

A system is provided for real-time, in-flight simulation of a target. A sensor system may generate a live stream of an environment of an aircraft during a flight thereof, the live stream having associated metadata with structured information indicating a real-time position of the aircraft within the environment. A target generator may generate a target image from a source of information from which a plurality of different target images may be generable. The target generator may also generate a synthetic scene of the environment including the target image. A superimposition engine may then superimpose the synthetic scene onto the live stream such that the target image is spatially and temporally correlated with the real-time position of the aircraft within the environment. The live stream with superimposed synthetic scene may be output for presentation on a display of the aircraft during the flight.

The present seam visually suppresses a gap defined between two adjacent reflective surfaces. The seam comprises a strip of light propagating material and a plurality of lighting units. The strip of light propagating material defines a front surface, two side surfaces and a back surface. The side surfaces of the strip of light propagating material is adapted for being positioning in the gap defined between the adjacent reflective surfaces. The lighting units are positioned along the back surface of the strip of light propagating material and are adapted for propagating light in the strip of light propagating material. When light is propagated in the strip of light propagating material, the gap between the two adjacent reflective surfaces is visually suppressed.

The present reflective display comprises at least two reflective surfaces, a strip of light propagating material and a plurality of lighting units. The at least two reflective surfaces define a gap therebetween. The strip of light propagating material defines a front surface, two side surfaces and a back surface. The side surfaces of the strip of light propagating material are adapted for being positioned in the gap between the two reflective surfaces. The lighting units are positioned along the back surface of the strip of light propagating material and when actuated propagate light in the strip of light propagating material. Light propagated in the light propagating material visually suppresses the gap between the two reflective surfaces.

The present image generator visually suppresses a gap between two adjacent reflective surfaces of a reflective display. The image generator comprises memory and a processor. The memory stores position of the gap on the reflective display. The processor analyses a stream of images to be displayed on the reflective display and determines corresponding lighting data alongside the gap. The processor further controls at least one lighting unit located behind a seam inserted in the gap based on the determined lighting data.
