Key Takeaways:

  • Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University students are developing augmented reality (AR) holograms using HoloLens 2 for advanced aviation training, starting with interactive 3D models of the CRJ-700 aircraft.
  • This AR system allows students to explore aircraft systems and manipulate controls in a collaborative classroom environment, offering a tactile and immersive learning experience over traditional methods or virtual reality.
  • The initiative aims to expand into full-class AR experiences, enhancing flight training and preparing students for careers in interactive technology, with potential applications beyond aviation.
