[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0021] It should be noted that in the description of this utility model, the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", etc., indicating the direction or positional relationship are based on the direction or positional relationship shown in the drawings. This is only for the convenience of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0022] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0023] It's worth noting that the Obato seat is specifically designed for racing simulation games. An Obato seat set is quite good and suitable for people who frequently play simulation games using a steering wheel. It allows for a comfortable driving posture anytime, anywhere. The steering wheel peripheral is installed and doesn't require plugging or unplugging; you can simply reach over and move it when you want to play, which is convenient. The downside is that it's not very friendly to nearsighted people or those with small screens, as the distance from the screen is too far.

[0024] It's important to note that the Logitech X56 throttle stick is a component of a flight simulation joystick used for throttle control in flight simulation games. The Logitech X56 throttle stick is part of the Logitech X56 HOTAS flight simulation joystick. HOTAS stands for "Hold on to adjust speed," meaning that users can adjust the aircraft's speed by holding both the joystick and the throttle stick. This design makes the flight simulation game experience more realistic and convenient. Features of the X56 throttle stick include: a split design for a more realistic flight experience; a small joystick with 6 degrees of freedom that can be used for mouse operations; multiple eight-way levers and knobs at the throttle position, providing a wide range of control options; and adjustable throttle tension, with damping levels that can be adjusted to personal preference.

[0025] It should be noted that the Logitech X56 joystick is a high-end simulation flight joystick designed specifically for flight simulation games. The Logitech X56 joystick features the following characteristics: a split design for enhanced realism and comfort; a 6-DOF mini-joystick supporting VR and RGB lighting adjustment; 13 axes and 47 programmable buttons for faster, more immersive flight simulation; a high-precision Hall effect sensor with adjustable joystick spring tension; and a uniquely designed throttle (throttle valve) for high realism, comfortable feel, long travel, and adjustable throttle tension.

[0026] It's important to note that binocular cameras work by simultaneously capturing images of the same scene using two cameras. Due to the positional difference between the two cameras, the captured images exhibit parallax. By calculating the parallax between these two images, depth information of objects in the scene can be obtained, enabling functions such as 3D reconstruction and distance measurement. This technology is widely used in fields such as autonomous driving, drone navigation, virtual reality, and 3D modeling.

[0027] It's important to note that green screen chroma keying is a digital technique that uses a green background during filming, then removes the green background using computer technology, placing the subject or person against any background. The principle behind this technique is that the green background and the subject are different colors, allowing computer software to distinguish them and achieve keying. The advantages of green screen chroma keying include high flexibility and time savings. It has wide applications in advertising production, film and television special effects, interactive exhibitions, and live streaming.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a video perspective flight simulator includes a green screen scene, an Obama seat positioned opposite the green screen scene, a control stick and throttle stick detachably mounted on the Obama seat, a virtual reality head-mounted display device, a binocular camera mounted on the virtual reality head-mounted display device, and a computer. The computer is connected to the control stick, throttle stick, virtual reality head-mounted display device, and binocular camera via signal cables, and is also connected to the virtual reality head-mounted display device via video cables.

[0029] In this invention, the green screen scene, Obato seat, control stick, and throttle lever can all be easily disassembled and assembled, thus solving the technical problem of difficult disassembly and assembly in existing flight simulators. Simultaneously, it utilizes binocular cameras to capture real objects within the green screen scene and employs virtual-real fusion technology to blend the real and virtual scenes. This blended image is then displayed to the user through a virtual reality head-mounted display device, giving the flight simulator of this invention a video perspective function. Therefore, this video perspective-based flight simulator boasts advantages such as low cost, ease of setup, and high immersion, and can be widely applied in exhibition halls, museums, shopping malls, and other similar venues.

[0030] In this embodiment, the control stick can be, but is not limited to, a Logitech X56 control stick. The control stick transmits control data to the computer, and the computer controls the user to control the aircraft's attitude in a virtual scene based on the control signals. In a preferred embodiment, a tray is provided on one side of the Barto seat, and the control stick is detachably mounted on the tray.

[0031] In this embodiment, the throttle lever can be, but is not limited to, a Logitech X56 throttle lever. The throttle lever transmits the control data generated by the user's operation of the throttle lever to the computer, allowing the user to control the speed of the aircraft in the virtual scene. In a preferred embodiment, a tray is also provided on the other side of the Barto seat, and the throttle lever can be detachably mounted on this tray.

[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the binocular camera is integrated into the virtual reality head-mounted display device via a 3D-printed component. The binocular camera is used to capture images of the real scene in real time and transmit the corresponding image data to the computer. In a preferred embodiment, the 3D-printed component is mounted on the virtual reality head-mounted display device via a snap-fit ​​structure, and the binocular camera is mounted on the 3D-printed component. With the help of the 3D-printed component and the snap-fit ​​structure, the binocular camera is reliably installed on the virtual reality head-mounted display device. Furthermore, this simplifies the assembly and disassembly of the video perspective flight simulator.

[0033] Virtual reality head-mounted display devices are used to display images transmitted by a computer and then fused with virtual reality to users in real time. In this invention, the computer has a built-in image processing model, which includes a video stream green screen keying unit and a virtual reality fusion unit. The video stream green screen keying technology and the virtual reality fusion technology are existing technologies, which are directly used in this invention and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the video-based perspective flight simulator in this embodiment also includes a display screen, which is connected to a computer via a video cable. The display screen is connected to a high-performance rendering computer via the video cable to display the content presented to the user by the virtual reality headset, for visitors to view. Of course, the display screen can also display other content, not limited to those listed above.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the video perspective flight simulator in this embodiment also includes supplementary lighting, specifically two supplementary lights, which are respectively positioned on either side in front of the green screen scene. Facing the green screen scene, they primarily provide supplementary lighting, allowing the green screen scene to be better presented and improving the green screen keying effect of the binocular camera.

[0036] In summary, compared with existing technologies, the video perspective flight simulator of this invention can be easily installed according to the actual application site, and can be more widely used. At the same time, because this invention has a video perspective function, it improves the immersive quality and enhances the user experience.

[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications or improvements to the same video perspective flight simulator made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
