Metrics and Models for the Perceptual Design of Virtual Transparency - Progress (09/98~10/98)

The ATC Tower simulation is being rewritten to accept CTAS-like data records for ultimate connection to live air traffic data. The expanded spatial calibration data have been verified by remeasurement after implementation of the distortion correction. Generally, the system provides sub centimeter accuracy, with the largest errors associated with the less frequently used extreme positions near the walls.
