Systems and methods for modular mobile flight simulator for an electric aircraft
A system for modular mobile flight simulator for an electric aircraft is presented. The system includes a simulator module include a concave display, a plurality of projection devices, a pilot interface, wherein the pilot includes a primary flight display and at least a pilot control communicatively connected to a sensor configured to detect a plurality of measure pilot data and generate a pilot datum. The system further includes a computing device configured to receive the pilot datum from the sensor, simulate an aircraft model of the electric aircraft as a function of the pilot datum, blend a plurality of images to be projected by the plurality of projection devices into a distinct image, display the distinct image onto the concave display, generate a feedback, and perform a physical feedback on the simulator module.
SYSTEM AND METHOD OF ADJUSTING FOCAL DISTANCES OF IMAGES DISPLAYED TO A USER OF A SIMULATOR
Systems and methods for adjusting focal distances of images displayed to a user at a designated eye point of a simulator are provided. An image may be generated for display by a screen, wherein the image is reflected by a mirror to the designated eye point. A simulated distance from the designated eye point to an object in the image may be determined. A focal distance for the image may be determined based on the simulated distance. A simulated size of the object may be determined based on the simulated distance. An adjustor may alter a distance between the screen and the mirror to achieve the focal distance. A size of the object may be adjusted in the image based on the simulated size.
System and method of actively reducing an appearance of a seam in a mirror array
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.

COLLIMATED VISUAL DISPLAY SYSTEM
A spherical mirror reflects an image on a back-projection screen to be viewed by a viewer located in the design eye point. The back-projection screen is configured to provide a collimated beam to a viewer located in the design eye point. A single projector illuminates the back-projection screen to provide the image on the back-projection screen. A freeform mirror located between the back-projection screen and the projector is configured to map all the pixels of the projector to the back-projection screen such that the resolution of the projector is sufficiently uniform on the back-projection screen.
