DYNAMICALLY MODIFYING VISUAL RENDERING OF A VISUAL ELEMENT COMPRISING A VISUAL CONTOURING ASSOCIATED THEREWITH

摘要

Method and system for dynamically modifying, in an interactive computer simulation station, visual rendering of a visual element in a computer generated environment from an interactive computer simulation. Pre-defined visual characteristics comprise a visual contouring associated with the visual element. The method comprises receiving, via a tangible instrument module, one or more commands for controlling a simulated vehicle. The method also comprises dynamically affecting the visual contouring of the visual element considering at least one of a distance factor between the simulated vehicle and the visual element in the computer generated environment and a relative contrast between the pre-defined visual characteristics of the visual element and underlying computer generated environment elements. The distance factor and the relative contrast are determined in real-time during execution of the interactive computer simulation prior to rendering the visual element for display.
