Paper Abstract
This paper describes the Virtual Environment Integration Laboratory (VEIL) of the
Royal Aerospace Establishment (RAE).
The VEIL programme is intended to provoke appropriate technological developments
by exploring the human requirements of operating within a virtual cockpit whilst
conducting demanding missions. Under construction is a light-weight binocular, colour
helmet-mounted display with a wide field of view, driven by a versatile parallelarchitecture
computer graphic system which accommodates simulated sensor images from
a camera and terrain model. Prototypes of suitable display formats will be developed
using a bench-mounted stereoscopic viewing rig which will also facilitate investigation of
critical psychophysical issues.
The complete VEIL hardware will integrate eye and head position sensors, three
dimensional sound, direct voice input, and tactile sensors with the binocular display
system. When allied to the ground-attack, helicopter and air-combat simulator facilities of
Mission Management Department, it will enable the practicality of operating virtual
cockpit systems in a wide variety of missions and tasks to be addressed.
