Phase I

Contract Number: N/A
Start Date: 00/00/00    Completed: 00/00/00
Phase I year
1987
Phase I Amount
$69,773
It is proposed to use Phase I to assess the applicability of a new ultrasonic head-tracker system developed for helicopter use by AEG, a prototype of which could be made available to W.W. Gaertner Research, Inc. For this test. If the accuracy of the original prototype is not adequate, several design improvements are suggested which could be implemented under phase II.

Phase II

Contract Number: N/A
Start Date: 00/00/00    Completed: 00/00/00
Phase II year
1988
Phase II Amount
$464,800
It is proposed to implement the concept for the novel head-tracker system, developed under Phase I, which was developed to achieve .5 min accuracy and 240 hz sampling rate desired by ntsc. As such, it will be much more accurate and faster than any other head tracker currently available. Key feasibility experiments were carried out under Phase I which support the assumptions on which the design for the Phase II effort is based. It is proposed to develop a finished head-tracker product under Phase II, and install it in the ntsc simulator.
