LC shutter glasses provide 3-D display for simulated flight
In studies being conducted under a NASA-funded program, researchers at the NASA Langley Research Center (Hampton. VA) are evaluating a liquid crystal shuttered-glasses system to generate a cockpit display containing 3-D pictorial symbology.

DIALOGUE Spatial misorientation exacerbated by collimated virtual flight display
The problems and potential solutions associated with flight attitude awareness have received much experimental study in flight simulators. A solution to assure correct roll and pitch response, in all circumstances, is proposed in which display symbology is seen as the moving "figure" against the fixed "background" of the external world.

Miniature, lightweight hi-res CRT display features remote drive
A 1-in. dia. high-resolution CRT display gives 800 TV lines per picture height at the screen center. With a circular active phosphor area of 20 mm diameter, the device displays a complete 4:3 aspect ratio picture having minimum dimensions of 16 mm x 12 mm.
