About this technology
Overview
Pilots have to vigorously monitor a mental checklist while flying planes. In the hopes of making things easier for them, Langley Research Center has been working with Rochester, New York-based Dimension Technologies Inc., for several years to develop displays capable of 3D imaging without requiring glasses. The monitor has already won over videogame enthusiasts for its lifelike imagery and eye-tracking software that allows users freedom of movement.
