1. A training system for a pilot in a cockpit of an aircraft in real airspace, said aircraft having a geospatial location and orientation at a given moment in said real airspace, said system comprising:
a computer content presentation system for generating a virtual airspace corresponding to said real airspace;
said computer content presentation system generating at least one virtual object in said virtual airspace, said object having a geospatial location in said virtual airspace independent of said geospatial location of said aircraft in said real airspace;
said computer content presentation system determining a future geospatial location of said virtual object in said virtual airspace at a certain time after said given moment;
said computer content presentation system determining a future geospatial location and orientation of said aircraft in said real airspace at said certain time after said given moment based on at least said geospatial location and orientation at said given moment;
said computer content presentation system predicting a future field of view of said pilot of said virtual airspace based on at least (1) said future geospatial location and orientation of said aircraft in said real airspace, and (2) said future geospatial location of said virtual object in said virtual airspace; and
a see-through display providing a field of view of said real airspace overlayed with said future field of view of said virtual airspace, wherein said virtual object is displayed based at said future geospatial location in said virtual airspace independent of said future geospatial location of said aircraft in said real airspace such that said field of view shows said virtual object from a perspective consistent with said aircraft's said future geospatial location and orientation in said real airspace.
