Studies have shown that pilot performance is improved by up to 44% in certain tasks when situational awareness information, on an electronic display, is presented in stereoscopic (3D) format. The United States Air Force has also indicated that LCDs are preferable to CRTs in the cockpit due to their smaller volume, power, and weight. With these efficiencies in mind, DTI has designed and built a prototype autostereoscopic cockpit situation awareness display that generates three dimensional images using an LCD. The pilot can see the 3D images without special glasses from anywhere within a wide viewing volume in front of the LCD. DTI's autostereoscopic displays are particularly well suited to presenting symbology in 3D space, and flight path information for low visibility, high speed, and low level flying.<>
