Flat panel stereoscopic display: description and applications

Abstract

The flow of information among our armed forces is greater than ever and the workload on the warfighter is increasing. A novel, stereo-based 3D display has been developed to aid the warfighter by displaying information in a more intuitive fashion by exploiting depth perception. The flat panel display has a footprint consistent with current and future vehicles, unmanned systems, and aircraft and is capable of displaying analog 3D video and OpenGL 3D imagery. A description of the display will be given along with discussion of the applications evaluated to date.

3D display considerations for rugged airborne environments

“…3,4 Of the most important, binocular disparity has been shown to be highly useful and reliable for remote manipulator tasks, such as boom refueling. 5,6 Replicating human binocular vision using a stereo vision system is complex and requires a system-level approach. Human factors studies strongly support that the added complexity of 3D capability results in performance benefits in eighty-five percent of teleoperation experiments involving stereoscopic displays for spatial manipulation.…”
