Oka Doner's recent figurative work represents a culmination of her synthetic vision, integrating analogies among plant, animal and human life.

I closed on the little group, combat rage funnelling my synthetic vision down to targets.

A related system, "synthetic vision," generates a map of the terrain in flight and the intended path of the plane as what looks a little like a monorail track.

Today Honeywell produces space equipment, turbine engines, auxiliary power units, brakes, wheels, synthetic vision, runway safety systems and other avionics.

Soundscapes from a computerized acoustic device with a camera may also offer synthetic vision to the blind, utilizing human echolocation, as is the goal of the seeing with sound project.

SmartDeck's PFD is also equipped with synthetic vision, a 3D rendering of obstacles, terrain and airports that allows the pilot to see "through" weather and darkness.

The ultimate goal is to provide synthetic vision with truly visual sensations by exploiting the neural plasticity of the human brain.

Also as a result of this, synthetic vision for piloting has not caught on in the UAV arena as it did with manned aircraft.

Pilots can navigate much more accurately and view terrain, obstructions, and other nearby aircraft on a map or through synthetic vision, even at night or in low visibility.
