1. A system for recording and synthesizing position data, comprising:
- a reference receiver having a known position, wherein the reference receiver includes reference position data, and further wherein the reference receiver generates an error correction signal;
a mobile receiver that has a variable position, wherein the mobile receiver includes raw position data; and
a processor that generates trajectory path data based on the raw position data and the reference position data, wherein the trajectory path data corresponds to a trajectory path of the mobile receiver, and further wherein the processor polls the reference receiver a plurality of times at a variable execution rate and generates a plurality of error correction signals, the variable execution rate being based at least in part on a desired resolution.

Abstract
A method and system for recording, synthesizing, distributing, and playing back position data includes a reference receiver having a known position, a mobile receiver having a variable position along a trajectory path, and a processor that calculates the trajectory path based on the reference receiver'"'"'s position and the mobile receiver'"'"'s position. The system generates a composite simulation dataset that displays the trajectory path in a virtual reality-like interactive display.

24. A system for synthesizing trajectory path data corresponding to a trajectory path and generated from reference position data obtained from a known position and raw position data obtained from a variable position data, the system comprising:
-
a data source having terrain visualization data for generating a terrain dataset;
a processor for combining the trajectory path data with the terrain dataset to form a composite simulation dataset that can be viewed from more than one perspective; and
a display that displays the composite simulation dataset;
wherein the processor combines trajectory path data corresponding to more than one trajectory path with the terrain dataset, the composite simulation dataset is displayed from the first-person perspective, and wherein the display represents said more than one trajectory path with the terrain dataset by displaying additional participants following said more than one trajectory path.
