ABSTRACT:
A system is disclosed for displaying a life or other size replica of a moboard or other scene in a non-programmed and real or other time manner, whereby said displayed replica constitutes a realistic ambient environmental simulation which may be used to facilitate the training of people in various and sundry situations, such as, for example, in piloting aircraft, tanks, automobiles, and other automotive devices, and the like. As disclosed, a modelboard scene is optically observed by a unique annular probe which forms an annular optical image thereof, rotates said annular optical image, and then timely converts it to a plurality of electrical signals proportional thereto. Suitable telemetering apparatus and timing circuits effect the transfer of said plurality of electrical signals to a unique annular projector which, in turn, reconstructs said converted annular optical image therefrom by means of lasers and laser light modulators, rotates it at a speed and in a direction that is equal and opposite to that mentioned above, and projects it onto the inner reflective surface of a substantially spherical or other wide angle screen as a displayed replica of the aforesaid modelboard scene, where it may be seen by the aforesaid people when they are located in proper proximity therewith.
