SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING A HIGH-FIDELITY VISUAL DISPLAY COORDINATED WITH A FULL-SCOPE SIMULATION OF A COMPLEX SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USING SAME FOR TRAINING AND PRACTICE
Application 1742/KOLNP/2004 published 2006-08-18, filed 2004-11-17
Control panels of a simulated complex system are displayed as a texture mask (94) over a three-dimensional visual representation of an environment in which the complex system is operating. The three-dimensional visual representation is displayed in an inactive window (90) to a user practicing or training on the simulated system. An active window (92) underlying a display window (100) is used to track user inputs to the control panels. Smart graphics processing (42) translates the user inputs into data elements that are sent to a full-scope simulation (48), and simulation conditions are returned and used to update the display of the control panels and the visual representation of the environment.
