Multi-Modal Cockpit Interface For Improved Airport Surface Operations
First Claim
1. A system for multi-modal cockpit interface during surface operation of an aircraft, the system comprising:
- a head tracking device;
a processing element configured to receive head position information from the head tracking device, to receive current location information of the aircraft, and to render a virtual airport scene corresponding to the head position information and the current aircraft location; and
a full-color head worn display configured to receive the virtual airport scene from the processing element and to display the virtual airport scene.

Abstract
A system for multi-modal cockpit interface during surface operation of an aircraft comprises a head tracking device, a processing element, and a full-color head worn display. The processing element is configured to receive head position information from the head tracking device, to receive current location information of the aircraft, and to render a virtual airport scene corresponding to the head position information and the current aircraft location. The full-color head worn display is configured to receive the virtual airport scene from the processing element and to display the virtual airport scene. The current location information may be received from one of a global positioning system or an inertial navigation system.
