Extreme wide field-of-view displays and the enclosed cockpit

Recent developments have shown that extreme wide field-of-view (EWFOV) displays are possible and will become the preferred display in future high performance aircraft. Visual perception and novel display option possibilities are discussed. EWFOV displays encompassing at 240°H×120°V field of view are possible. These displays are able to replace the viewer´s normal reality with a new reality acceptable to the viewer, thereby allowing the enclosed pilot to operate as if not enclosed. Research trends are outlined
