For the development of two outstanding weather displays as part of the FAA Aviation Weather Development Program. The regional display converts a large amount of data into three-dimensional displays and represents a quantum leap in temporal and spatial depiction of aviation weather. The three-dimensional terminal viewer combines weather products, satellite terrain imagery, and air traffic into a pioneering virtual-reality display that runs in real time.
