    摘要: A method is provided for operating an image generator, arranged to generate and to output signals for displaying image elements of a predefined set of image elements, each image element being defined by respective varying deflection signals. A colour change trigger is firstly defined comprising an additional image element defined by varying deflection signals different to varying deflection signals of an image element of the predefined set. Varying deflection signals of the defined colour change trigger are generated and output thereby to indicate a respective colour for use in displaying an image element of the predefined set.
    An image generator is also provided, configured to implement the method. A method is also provided for generating digital colour image data from signals output by such an image generator. A display system is also provided incorporating such an image generator together with a colour change trigger detector and scan converter.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for displaying an operational area, the apparatus comprising a headset (10) for placing over a user's eyes, the headset including a viewing device (12) configured to provide to said user, in use, a view of a real-world environment, a screen depicting an operational area, said operational area being defined within said real-world environment and comprising a plurality of functional regions each defining a different one or more selectable functions or operations that can be performed in respect of said operational area, the apparatus being configured to project image data displayed on said screen into said user's view of said real-world environment through said visor to generate an augmented reality environment, the apparatus further comprising a control module (26) including a control device (28) configured to be selectively communicably coupled to all of said functional regions to enable a user to selectively perform the respective one or more functions or operations associated therewith, wherein the control device (28) is communicably coupled to a selected functional region only in response to a respective actuation signal, and an eye tracker module (24) configured to monitor said user's gaze relative to said augmented reality environment, in use, and, when said user's gaze is directed at a selected functional region displayed therein, generate and transmit to said control module (26) a said actuation signal and when said user's gaze is no longer directed at said selected functional region, cause said control device (28) to be decoupled therefrom.
