a slewable projection system of the type having a relatively high - resolution area - of - interest scenic portion inset into and blended with a relatively low - resolution field - of - view scenic portion of greater areal extent than the high - resolution portion , includes : at least one optical element for providing the low - resolution background image portion ; at least one other optical element for providing the high - resolution aoi image portion ; an optical combiner receiving the low - resolution and high - resolution image portions ; optics for projecting the combined image onto a viewing area ; and at least one fiber - optic cable having a multiplicity of fibers for interconnecting the combining element and at least one of the two image optics portions and the projecting optics . a fiber - optic element can mechanically decouple the combining and projecting elements , so that high projection slew rates and accelerations can be realized , while also eliminating hard optics associated with image de - rotation and / or focusing . another fiber - optic element can provide moveable area - of - interest blending at any selected location over the entire area of the background scene , without movement of a projector or other high - pass subassembly . use of yet another fiber - optic element can facilitate dynamic image merging .
