Information displaying apparatus for displaying animated video signals and combination animated and real-time video signals includes a controller for providing control signals for the information displaying apparatus and a host processor for generating graphics commands according to the provided control signals. A real time object graphics processor, controlled by the host processor, receives the generated graphics commands and generates graphics object image data in real-time according to the received graphics commands. A video coder, controlled by the host processor, receives the generated graphics object image data and outputs a video signal which comprises at least part of the received graphics object image data.
A multimedia racing experience system is provided including a plurality of input devices, such as cameras, microphones, and telemetry sensors. All input devices communicate with an on-vehicle processing unit for multiplexing the input data into a data stream. The data stream is then transferred to a central location for display or recording on playback media.
