Abstract: An optical pickup that provides pitch, roll and yaw motions through the use of integral servo-driven elements to provide a fixed point of perspective is described. The optical pickup may be considered to be a complex form of TV camera lens. Its application to the simulation problem is compared with that of other optical devices. Trade-offs in performance of an idealized optical system as well as specific pickups are shown to be basically limited by the choice of model scale. The often conflicting performance requirements for such an instrument involve such factors as distortion vs. illumination uniformity, depth of field vs. image illumination, depth of field vs. model scale and the required minimum approach distance, and optical resolution vs. angular field.
