Abstract:
A vehicle simulation system for simulating a vehicle for a human user, said system comprising:an image system forming on a screen a visual image viewable by the user, said image including a scene representing a simulated view outside the vehicle and head-up display image superposed on said scene; a combiner structure through which the user can see, said combiner structure being positioned so that said image with the head-up display image can be viewed therethrough by the user; a filtering structure supported in the vehicle simulation system laterally outward of said combiner structure, viewed from a position of the user in operation of the vehicle simulation system; said filtering structure permitting the user to see the scene therethrough, but limiting the passage of light from the head-up display image therethrough, so as to reduce the user seeing the image outside said combiner structure.
