Case Study
Virtual Reality Simulator for Aircraft Cockpit
Developed a Virtual Reality Cockpit Simulation system for flight training using multiple Leap Motion devices to track hand gestures with high precision. By calibrating and integrating data from multiple sensors into a unified output, we ensured accurate and real-time interaction within the simulation. The system provides immersive, scenario-based training, enhancing pilot skills without the need for actual aircraft. Our solution leverages advanced algorithms to optimize sensor data, significantly improving training quality and realism.
The Vision
To revolutionize flight training by creating a highly immersive and interactive Virtual Reality cockpit simulation. Our goal is to enhance pilot preparedness through precise hand-tracking technology and realistic scenario-based training, making advanced aviation training more accessible, safe, and effective.
Scenario
- Our VR cockpit simulation immerses trainees in a highly realistic environment that mirrors the layout and controls of actual aircraft.
- Enhanced with multiple Leap Motion sensors, the system captures precise hand movements and gestures in real time.
- It intelligently recognizes pilot interactions such as throttle adjustments, switch operations, and yoke control.
- Trainees can engage in a wide range of flight scenarios, including take-off, landing, and emergency response.
- With real-time feedback and performance analytics, pilots can refine their skills in a safe, controlled setting.
