Abstract
A computer aided design (CAD) system ascertains the clear view area of a transparency in light of head orientation and refractive properties of the transparency. Obstructions that limit the clear view are also taken into account. The CAD system is particularly useful in assessing the field of view provided to a pilot by aircraft windshields and the like.
