Abstract:
1. An operator control apparatus, comprising: optics in communication with a visual display, wherein said optics is adapted to provide a digital video signal; an embedded processor in communication with said optics adapted to track change to orientation and position of said apparatus and to re-calculate data to be displayed based on said change; a remote device in communication with said apparatus and separate from said apparatus, said remote device having an actuator adapted to be controlled by an input device of said apparatus, and said remote device to communicate global position data of an object of interest to said processor, said global position data of the object of interest recalculated with respect to the position of said apparatus; and said processor to re-calculate location of the object of interest relative to said apparatus; and said visual display to employ an overlay to show a combination of data received from the optics local to the visual display and the remote device, said overlay to provide position and orientation in three dimensional space to a location of the object relative to location and orientation of said apparatus.
