VIRTUAL IMAGE ENTERTAINMENT
ABSTRACT
A real-time, interactive, motion-base simulator entermainment system that em-
ploy a computer generated video game (or network fo video games) that interact with a
motion-based, operator-controlled control station or simulator. The system employs a
computer processor, helmet-mounted projection display technology, a motion-basedcockpit, control yokes or joy sticks, a sound system, and computer-generated video
games. A plurality of (typically two) participants interact with selective and timed
video scensrios to achieve an objective. interaction is achieved using the control yokes
and buttons. Each simulator operates independently of the other, except that groups of
participants may play the same acenario, possible a the same time by ganging or
networking sets of simulators. Each motion-based simulator is designed and
cosmetically enhanced to appear as an armed space vehicle, for example, and comprises
an interactive, video scenario virtually displayed on a windshield screen allowing the
participants to interact with the system to achieve the predetermined game objective.
The simulator system incorporates selction devices (yokes or joy-stick), displaynetworks, and selection buttons and controls that permit interaction with the system by
the participants in response to information from the secenarious presented on the display.

Revendications

Note : Les revendications sont présentées dans la langue officielle dans laquelle elles ont été soumises.


What is claimed is:
1. A virtual image entertainment system comprising:
a simulator comprising a moveable cockpit:
seating means disposed in the cockpit for seating a plurality of participants;
a first moveable yoke means disposed in the cockpit and operable by one of the
participants for causing movement of the cockpit in response to movement of the first
yoke means;
a virtual image display system comprising a virtual image projector and a
display screen located within the view of the participants;
a second moveable yoke means operable by another of the participants for
providing real-time engagement interaction with a story portrayed as virtual images on
the screen in response to movement of the second yoke means; and
an audio system coupled to the virtual image display system for providing audio
signals corresponding to the virtual images projected by the virtual image projector;
whereby, a real-time motion-based simulator incorporating an interactive video
game played by two persons as a team is provided.
2. The virtual image entertainment system of Claim 1 further comprising:
a head up display for projecting data observable by the participants that includes
video images, engagement reticles, and equipment status indicators that are displayed
on the display screen.
3. The virtual image entertainment system of Claim 1 further comprising:
a networked plurality of simulators coupled to a control station which
controls the plurality of simulators to engage in the same interactive video game, thus
providing for team activities that allow multiple participants in one simulator to play
against a like number of participants in another simulator.
