Use of Augmented and Virtual Reality for Enhancement of Aerospace Cabin and Cockpit Experience

Ryerson University’s Mixed-Reality Immersive Motion Simulation (MIMS) lab conducts a variety of research on Mixed Reality (MR) application for aerospace cockpits and cabins. The research team at the MIMS aims to integrate Commercially Available Off-the-Shelf (COTS) equipment with flight simulator data for faster and more reliable development of aerospace systems. The MIMS team has successfully used MR in crew training, rapid development of aircraft cockpits, and visualization of cabin interiors. This chapter provides an overview of three research projects completed at the MIMS lab using MR technology.
