Dynamically affecting tailored visual rendering of a visual element

An interactive computer simulation station comprising:

• a tangible instrument module comprising one or more tangible instruments for receiving one or more commands from a trainee thereof for controlling, in a computer-generated environment from an interactive computer simulation, a simulated vehicle in the interactive computer simulation;
• a display system for displaying rendered images of the computer-generated environment comprising a visual element;
• a processor module, comprising a dedicated graphics unit during execution of the interactive computer simulation, for:
• determining in real-time a distance factor between the visual element and the simulated vehicle in the computer generated environment
• determining if the visual element is within a minimum visual range and a maximum enhance range from the simulated vehicle based on the distance factor;
• dynamically affecting the visual element, when the visual element enters the minimum visual range from the simulated vehicle and until the visual element exits the maximum enhancement range from the simulated vehicle in the interactive computer simulation, by enhancing at least one of:
• a visual contouring of the visual element;
• and
• one or more pre-identified distinctive visual characteristics of the visual element;
• by applying in real-time one or more tailoring parameters determined taking into account at least one of:
• an identity of the trainee in the interactive computer simulation station;
• and
• an identifier of the visual element;
• prior to rendering the visual element by the dedicated graphics unit in the computer-generated environment.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-readable instructions stored thereon, which when executed by a processing unit of an interactive computer simulation station configure the processing unit to dynamically modify visual rendering of a visual element in a computer-generated environment from an interactive computer simulation, wherein pre-defined visual characteristics are associated with the visual element, by performing the steps of:

• receiving, via a tangible instrument module comprising one or more tangible instruments, one or more commands from a trainee of the interactive computer simulation station for controlling, in the computer-generated environment, a simulated vehicle of the interactive computer simulation;
• and
• at the interactive computer simulation station and during execution of the interactive computer simulation, determining in real-time a distance factor between the visual element and the simulated vehicle in the computer generated environment, determining if the visual element is within a minimum visual range and a maximum enhance range from the simulated vehicle based on the distance factor, and when the visual element enters the minimum visual range from the simulated vehicle and until the visual element exits the maximum enhancement range from the simulated vehicle in the interactive computer simulation, dynamically affecting the visual element by enhancing at least one of:
• a visual contouring of the visual element;
• and
• one or more pre-identified distinctive visual characteristics of the visual element;
• by applying in real-time one or more tailoring parameters determined taking into account at least one of:
• an identity of the trainee in the interactive computer simulation station;
• and
• an identifier of the visual element;
• prior to rendering the visual element for display in the computer-generated environment.
