First Claim
1. A method for providing situational awareness for a transport vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of sensory inputs from cameras positioned about the periphery of the transport vehicle;
processing the plurality of sensory inputs to generate a plurality of processed signals for display to one or more displays;
receiving user input from distinct users specifying one or more views to display on each of the one or more displays as received and processed from the plurality of sensory inputs; and
communicating the plurality of processed signals for displaying the one or more views on each of the one or more displays in response to receiving the user input.
