          Appeal No. 1998-0621                                                        
          Application No. 08/323,288                                                  


          which may be viewed with peripheral vision.  The display                    
          device is mounted on the user’s head, and displays the data                 
          windows separately to each eye of the user to create a                      
          binocular, stereoscopic virtual screen image that has a                     
          virtual screen size independent of the physical size of the                 
          display screen.  A head tracking position sensor, also mounted              
          on the user’s head, inputs a position control signal to the                 
          computer to selectively change the selected viewing location                
          of the data windows based upon movement of the user’s head.                 
               Representative independent claim 1 is reproduced as                    
          follows:                                                                    
                         1.  A computerized data display system                       
                    comprising:                                                       
                         a computer operating in accord with a                        
                    window display management system for the display                  
                    and control of a plurality of data windows on at                  
                    least one display screen of at least one display                  
                    device, said plurality of data windows being                      
                    displayed in a non-overlapping manner on said at                  
                    least one display screen in a spatial relation                    
                    corresponding to a field of view seen from a                      
                    preselected viewing location selected by means                    
                    of a position control signal provided as an                       
                    input to said computer;                                           
                         a head coupled image display device,                         
                    coupled to said at least one display screen of                    
                    said at least one display device, for displaying                  
                    said plurality of data windows appearing on said                  
                    at least one display screen of said at least one                  

                                         -2-
