Abstract

Within the U.S.-German project agreement on advanced technology for rotorcraft (PA–ATR) DLR conducts research on pilot aids for helicopter operations in DVE. For example, an HMD can provide visual cues to the pilot while flying eyes-out. With the HoloLens 2 as a low-cost HMD, the full-color waveguide display facilitates rapid prototyping of new color-coded symbology. To estimate the optical feasibility of the device, this paper presents findings on the see-through transmission of the combiner and a subjective rating of the color fidelity. The found issues can then be taken into account in the future design and development process of head-up display symbology.
