1. Optical simulation apparatus for training an observer in the manipulation of a controllable real-life element relative to at least one real-life image, said apparatus comprising:

  • (a) optical means for forming an image at or near infinity for stereoscopic viewing by said observer;

    (b) a first display screen and means for generating a first display of a simulated real-life image on said first display screen;

    (c) a second display screen and means for generating a second dislay of another simulated real-life image on said second display screen;

    (d) means for combining images from said first and second display screens and for directing said images toward said optical means for forming an image viewable by said observer; and

    (e) a three-dimensional physical object positioned between at least one of said display screens and said optical means for forming an image, whereby said physical object is itself directly viewable by said observer with parallax and relative distance relative to said first and second displays, said physical object being a dimensionally smaller model of said controllable real-life element.
