Augmentation of Cognition and Perception Through Advanced Synthetic Vision Technology

Prinzel, Lawrence J., III; Kramer, Lynda J.; Bailey, Randall E.; Arthur, Jarvis J.;Williams, Steve P.; McNabb, Jennifer; [2005]; 10 pp.; In English; 1st International Conference on Augmented Cognition, 22-27 Jul. 2005, Las Vegas, NV, USA Contract(s)/Grant(s): 23-137-10-10; No Copyright; Avail: CASI; A02, Hardcopy

Synthetic Vision System technology augments reality and creates a virtual visual meteorological condition that extends a pilot’s cognitive and perceptual capabilities during flight operations when outside visibility is restricted. The paper describes the NASA Synthetic Vision System for commercial aviation with an emphasis on how the technology achieves Augmented Cognition objectives. Author
