Pilot's Futuristic Helmet Displays a Virtual World

Article Abstract:

Researchers at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base are developing the Visually-Coupled Airborne Systems Simulator (VCASS) for flight simulator and high flight applications. The three pound prototype consists of a pilot's helment, visual displays, microphone and headset and is completely self-contained. An electro-magnetic sensing system continuously determines the location and position of the pilot's head and assures an accurate point of view simulation. The VCASS helment will replace bulky vision system simulators now in use. A drawing of a typical display is included, featuring flight data and identification of friendly or hostile objects superimposed over the terrain display. The system is capable of selecting and displaying the safest escape route in hostile environments.

Dad's toes

Article Abstract:

A daughter talks about her visit to see her father in morgue, in a heart throbbing manner as she did not believe that her father was dead and how she felt at every single moment till she saw her father's sausage toes. This sight took her back twenty-five years to those lovely memories of the time she spent with her father and how he would cross his legs with his toes sticking off the end of her godmother's sofa.
