A system and method. The system may include a monitor implemented as a virtual window, a camera, an additional camera, a processor, and a switch. The processor may be configured to: receive video from the additional camera; manipulate the video from the additional camera based on a position of the passenger to provide an additional camera manipulated video stream; and output the additional camera manipulated video stream. The switch may be configured to: when the passenger is in a first position, feed video from the camera to the monitor; and when the passenger is in a second position, feed the additional camera manipulated video stream to the monitor.

A multi-layered intelligent display system includes a first LCD display panel; a second OLED display panel; a smart panel disposed behind the second display panel; an LED panel disposed between the second display panel and the smart panel; a sensor for detecting the ambient light behind the smart panel and activating the LED panel if the ambient light is below a predetermined illuminance; a memory having programming instructions stored thereon; and a controller in communication with the first and second display panels, the smart panel, and the memory. The multi-layered intelligent glass display is operable in each of a display mode, a multilayer display mode, and a transparent mode.

A porthole, a porthole plug in a vehicle, and an aircraft with portholes are provided. The porthole includes an opaque plug with an aperture therethrough.

A nose section of an aircraft comprising a centered flight deck, making it possible to offer a direct forward field of view towards the outside of the aircraft, the forward visibility of the pilot towards the outside taking priority, and an indirect lateral field of view afforded by image displays displaying images representing the lateral environment of the centered pilot and obtained from an image capturing device.

In existing mobile implementations, there is a disconnect between the mobile device accessing the network and the applicative services inasmuch as the entity responsible for network access, such as the VPN Gateway, differs from the entity governing access to applications, such as email servers and SharePoint repositories. Therefore existing solutions typically employ two authentication methods. Of these, the first may be used to authenticate the mobile device to the VPN Gateway, while the second may be used to authenticate the mobile device towards the applications server. In order to facilitate strong authentication it is often desired to utilize a mechanism that uses or combines two different factors, e.g. something you have (such as but not limited to a smart card) and something you know (such as but not limited to a password). Most currently available mobile devices offer limited options to connect external devices to them, rendering most Something you have solutions irrelevant. For instance, there is no ability to connect a smart-card to a mobile phone.

A video data distributor for distribution of image and video data onboard an aircraft, has a central processing unit, at least one graphics processor coupled to the central processing unit, at least one display unit interface coupled to the graphics processor, a high-speed data transfer interface, and a buffer memory coupled to the central processing unit. An external display unit is connectable to the display unit interface. Via the high-speed data transfer interface, image and video data can be communicated from a network control device to the central processing unit. The buffer memory is designed to buffer-store image and video data received via the high-speed data transfer interface.

A system and method for displaying on a display inside of an aircraft a panoramic view of a view outside the aircraft. The system includes a window plug configured to fit into a window of an aircraft. The window plug includes a camera positioned to capture video outside of the aircraft and a display positioned over the window plug. The camera and display are connected to a processor to display the captured video on the display. The system may include a control panel that controls the operation of the camera and display. A device may be used to control pan and zoom features of the camera. A plurality of cameras may be connected to the processor, which may combine the captured videos from the plurality of cameras to display a single panoramic video on a single display or a plurality of displays. The combined video may be a 3D video.

Various display systems may benefit from the combination of synthetic imagery from a plurality of sources. For example, display systems for vehicular operations may benefit from combining synthetic imagery with real imagery. A method can include obtaining, by a processor, an interior video image based on a position of a user. The method can also include obtaining, by the processor, an exterior video image based on the position of the user. The method can further include combining the interior video image and the exterior video image to form a combined single view for the user. The method can additionally include providing the combined single view to a display of the user.

An extended reality system for generating real-time synthetic imagery during a flight of an aircraft. The system is connectable to a local terrain database via a data network while the aircraft is on the ground and includes: a terrain subset database configured to store a subset of terrain data from the local terrain database; a position database configured to receive a real-time position and orientation of the aircraft during flight; an image generator configured to generate one or more real-time synthetic images of one or more view points from and/or of the aircraft based on the subset of terrain data and the real-time position and orientation of the aircraft; and an encoder 10 configured to convert the one or more real-time synthetic images into one or more media streams. The media streams are configured to be transmitted to one or more display devices via a wireless network.

A device may identify first content to be provided for display via a window system of a vehicle. The device may provide, for display via the window system of the vehicle, information associated with the first content as a first augmented reality overlay based on identifying the first content. The device may receive information associated with a user interaction with the window system of the vehicle based on providing, for display via the window system of the vehicle, the information associated with the first content as the first augmented reality overlay. The device may identify second content based on the information associated with the user interaction with the window system of the vehicle. The device may provide, for display via the window system of the vehicle, information associated with the second content based on identifying the second content.
