US Patent 11182970 Augmented reality aircraft window and method

A system may include an augmented reality (AR) aircraft window. The AR aircraft window may include a transparent emissive display layer, a camera, and a processor communicatively coupled to the transparent emissive display layer and the camera. The processor may be configured to: receive, from an avionics computing device, aircraft data including information of a location, an altitude, a heading, and a bank angle of an aircraft; receive video from the camera; perform head tracking operations to determine a position of at least one of eyes or a head of a user based at least on the video from the camera; generate graphical AR content aligned with the user's view through the AR aircraft window based at least on the aircraft data and performance of the head tracking operations; and output, to the transparent emissive display layer, the graphical AR content when at least one window shader element is transparent.
