ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for real-time analysis and display of information to provide information which will enable a user to be continuously apprised of all objects within a predetermined radius from the user's location (a "sphere of interest") while at the same time establishing the user's position relative to a fixed reference system. The invention involves determining the location and orientation of the user relative to a fixed reference system (such as the earth), as well as the location and orientation of objects in the sphere of interest about the user. Display of this information is on a display format, which may be embodied on an optical medium such as a helmet visor, a heads-up display media, a projection surface or a user's eye.
