Claim 11:
12. A method of displaying layers of synthetic vision system (SVS) data as a function of a line of sight (LOS) designation of a user within an aircraft, the method comprising:
tracking a user's line of sight (LOS) with respect to a real-world scene or tracking the user's LOS relative to the aircraft and converting to LOS relative to the real-world scene, wherein the tracking is carried out with respect to the user's view through a three-dimensional see-through display, having a depth dimension and a planar dimension, that is used by the user,
identifying, in a multilayered database, a region of interest (ROI) in a representation of the real-world scene at which the user's LOS is aimed,
displaying multiple data layers on the three-dimensional see-through display, wherein each of the multiple data layers comprises display data regarding the terrain and/or obstacles in the real-world scene, wherein the multiple data layers are each conformal to the scene representation of the real-world, and
selecting among the multiple data layers according to the ROI,
wherein one or more of the multiple data layers, or a part thereof, is attenuated relative to a remainder of the multiple data layers according to a respective distance thereof in three dimensions from the ROI by varying visual parameters to reduce a prominence of the display data on the attenuated one or more of the multiple data layers, and
wherein one or more of the multiple data layers, or a part thereof, is enhanced relative to a remainder of the multiple data layers according to a respective distance thereof in three dimensions from the ROI by varying visual parameters to increase a prominence of the display data on the enhanced one or more of the multiple data layers.
