Holograms, used for decades in the entertainment industry, may soon become part of the aviation training environment thanks to a team of students at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Prescott.
Augmented Reality Brings Jets Into The Classroom
Key Takeaways:
- Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University students are developing augmented reality (AR) holograms using HoloLens 2 goggles to create interactive 3D models of aircraft like the CRJ-700 for aviation training.
- This AR system enables students to collaboratively explore and interact with detailed aircraft systems and controls, offering an immersive, "Fantastic Voyage"-like experience that supports tactile and kinetic learning.
- The project aims to expand to multi-user simulations and full-class experiences, with industry experts recognizing AR as the next logical step for aviation training due to its enhanced immersion and fidelity, especially for remote learning.
