1. A system comprising:
- one or more sensors;
a peripheral vision hover drift cueing controller coupled to the one or more sensors and configured to determine hover drift and to control a plurality of indicators in response to determined hover drift; and
two or more hover drift indicators coupled to the controller and mounted on an inside surface of a vehicle'"'"'s cockpit in a peripheral vision area of a pilot with respect to a central instrument panel of the vehicle being in a central vision area of the pilot,the two or more hover drift indicators being separate from each other and the central instrument panel;
wherein the two or more hover drift indicators each include a plurality of light emitting diodes, andthe plurality of light emitting diodes indicate the hover drift by emitting light so as to appear to move in a direction of the hover drift.

Abstract
Peripheral vision hover drift cueing methods, systems and computer readable media are disclosed. For example, a system can include one or more sensors, and a peripheral vision hover drift cueing controller coupled to the one or more sensors and configured to determine hover drift and to control a plurality of indicators in response to determined hover drift. The system can also include a first hover drift indicator coupled to the controller and mounted on an inside surface of a vehicle cockpit; and a second hover drift indicator coupled to the controller and mounted on an inside surface of the vehicle cockpit.

9. A method comprising:
-
receiving, at a processor, vehicle position information from one or more sensors disposed on a vehicle; determining, at the processor, hover drift based on the received vehicle position information; and controlling, with the processor, two or more peripheral vision hover drift indicators based on the determined hover drift, the two or more hover drift indicators being mounted on an inside surface of a cockpit of the vehicle in a peripheral vision area of a pilot with respect to a central instrument panel of the vehicle being in a central vision area of the pilot, the two or more hover drift indicators being separate from each other and the central instrument panel; wherein the two or more hover drift indicators each include a plurality of light emitting diodes, and indicating the hover drift by using the plurality of light emitting diodes to emit light so as to appear to move in a direction of the hover drift. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A nontransitory computer readable medium having stored thereon software instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to perform operations including:
-
receiving, at a processor, vehicle position information from one or more sensors disposed on a vehicle; determining, at the processor, hover drift based on the received vehicle position information; and controlling, with the processor, two or more peripheral vision hover drift indicators based on the determined hover drift, the two or more hover drift indicators being mounted on an inside surface of a cockpit of the vehicle in a peripheral vision area of a pilot with respect to a central instrument panel of the vehicle being in a central vision area of the pilot, the two or more hover drift indicators being separate from each other and the central instrument panel; wherein the two or more hover drift indicators each include a plurality of light emitting diodes, and indicating the hover drift by using the plurality of light emitting diodes to emit light so as to appear to move in a direction of the hover drift. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
