Abstract

A system for simulating an animated scene useful, for example, in training personnel to dock large supertankers, fire modern weapons, etc. The system uses a pair of identical background transparencies, one of which is used to generate an animation zone including an electronically inlayed image of a moving object. The animation zone is then optically superimposed on the other transparency.
