Abstract

A system for facilitating provisioning of a virtual experience is disclosed. The system may include a communication device configured for receiving at least one first sensor data from at least one first sensor of a first vehicle and at least one second sensor data from at least one second sensor of a second vehicle. Further, the communication device may be configured for transmitting at least one first presentation data to at least one first presentation device and at least one second presentation data to at least one second presentation device. Further, the at least one presentation device may be configured for presenting the at least one first presentation data and the at least one second presentation data. Further, the system may include a processing device configured for generating the at least one first presentation data and the at least one second presentation data.

Claims (19)

1. A method of displaying a virtual space to an operator of a first vehicle, said virtual space showing a position of a second object relative to said first vehicle, said method comprising:

receiving a first sensor data corresponding to at least one first sensor associated with the first vehicle, wherein the at least one first sensor data comprises data indicative of a position of the first vehicle in real space;

generating presentation data for display comprising data indicative of a position of the second object; and

causing a display of the virtual space to be displayed on a head worn display on the first operator, the display being based, at least in part, on-the presentation data and on a position and an orientation of the head worn display;

wherein the position of the first vehicle and the position of the second object are mapped to the virtual space and wherein the position of the first vehicle with respect to the position of the second object in the real space differs from that of the position of the first vehicle with respect to the position of the second object in the virtual space.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the second object is an aircraft simulation.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving first authentication data with the first sensor data.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving-a second authentication data with the presentation data.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein said threat is an enemy aircraft or missile.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first sensor is an On-Board-Diagnostics (OBD) system of the first vehicle.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the head worn display comprises a helmet.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the orientation of the helmet may be derived from at least one of an orientation sensor, a motion sensor, an accelerometer, a vibration sensor, a light sensor and a sound sensor.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein said second object is a second vehicle.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein said first vehicle is an aircraft, and wherein said virtual space is virtual airspace and said real space is real airspace.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein said second object is a second aircraft.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein said second aircraft is real.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein said second aircraft is in a different real space than indicated in said virtual airspace.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein said virtual airspace includes at least one virtual object.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein said virtual object is a threat.
