Abstract

A method displays a course of a process of at least one railway safety unit. While using at least one device control, process data supplied by the at least one railway safety unit, are converted by dual-channel processing into first and second image data of the course of the process to be displayed. The image data are output to be displayed on a data display unit. In order to simplify the displaying of the course of the process, a pair of display spectacles having a first and a second display is used as a data display unit. The first display displays a first representation of the first image data delivered thereto that is visually detectable by the right eye, and the second display displays a second representation of the second image data delivered thereto that is visually detectable by the left eye.

Claims (12)

1. A method for displaying a course of a process of at least one railway safety unit, which comprises the steps of:

converting, via at least one device control, process data supplied by the at least one railway safety unit by means of dual-channel processing into first and second image data of the course of the process to be displayed;

outputting the first and second image data to be displayed on a data display unit; and

providing a pair of display goggles having a first and a second display as the data display unit, the first display displaying a first representation of the first image data delivered thereto that is visually detectable by a right eye, and the second display displaying a second representation of the second image data delivered thereto that is visually detectable by a left eye.

2. The method according to claim 1 , which further comprises converting the process data in sections of the dual-channel processing into right-hand image data and left-hand image data which correspond to images of the course of the process generated from a same perspective for monoscopic examination.

3. The method according to claim 2 , which further comprises:

outputting the right-hand image data as the first image data to the display goggles; and

outputting the left-hand image data as the second image data to the display goggles.

4. The method according to claim 2 , which further comprises converting the right-hand image data and the left-hand image data in further sections of the dual-channel processing into further right-hand image data and further left-hand image data which correspond to image data of the course of the process generated from different perspectives for stereoscopic examination.

5. The method according to claim 4 , which further comprises:

outputting the further right-hand image data as the first imaged data to the display goggles; and

outputting the further left-hand image data as the second image data to the display goggles.
