Abstract

A virtual window assembly for an airborne vehicle includes at least one camera configured to capture a panoramic and time-resolved image data stream from the view to the outside of the airborne vehicle, at least one image data processor coupled to the camera and configured to receive the captured image data stream and split the image data stream into a plurality of partial image data streams corresponding to different viewing angles of the panoramic image data stream, and a plurality of electronic displays mounted to an inside of a hull of the airborne vehicle, coupled to the image data processor and configured to receive the partial image data streams. Each of the electronic displays is configured to display one of the partial image data streams so that the physical mounting location of the electronic displays in the airborne vehicle corresponds to the associated camera viewing angle of the displayed partial image data stream.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the virtualization of windows of an aircraft, in particular by collecting image and / or video data around the aircraft, and displaying the collected image and / or video data on an electronic display in the aircraft. Background technique [0002] The design of small airplane windows is limited by engineering considerations, which only give airplane passengers a limited view of the outside world. However, installing windows on an airplane increases the weight, resistance, manufacturing cost, and maintenance work of the airplane. Therefore, there is a contradiction between engineering constraints and passengers' expectations of higher comfort. [0003] Many attempts have been made to improve this situation. For example, the document US 2013 / 0169807 A1 discloses a virtual window, which includes the internal and external aspects of a real window, with a folded or flexible high-resolution color display inside, which conforms to the ...
