Even as the pilot turns his head, the goggles can react in real-time to ensure the virtual representations always stay in the same place as their real-world counterparts.

While many planes have displays on-board which can display similar information, the ability to shrink the technology into glasses and merge the information with a pilot's real-world view is an innovation that could potentially stop disasters.TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。) X/ T$ g6 N# W: _

Arthur said: 'If the fog is in and you can’t see the tower or certain parts of the airport, we would draw that on the display as well if it would enhance situational awareness.'

The glasses work by monitoring paper markers distributed around the cockpit.1 Y& J% H# W2 _
By using these markers and an in-built gyroscope, similar to the one found in recent smartphones, the glasses can work out the pilot's perspective and overlay the visual layout as well as airspeed, altitude and orientation, on top.

InnovationNewsDaily reported that test pilots rated the glasses above the displays currently used on-board, and NASA has now offered the technology to ccommercial operators.
