Safety-critical interactive spaces for supervision and time-critical control tasks are usually characterized by many small displays and physical controls, typically found in control rooms or automotive, railway, and aviation cockpits. Using Virtual Reality (VR) simulations instead of a physical system can significantly reduce the training costs of these interactive...
Comparison Between Virtual Reality and Physical Flight Simulators for Cockpit Familiarization
Airlines and flying schools use high-end physical flight simulators (PFS) to reduce costs and risks of pilot training. However, such PFS with full-scale cockpits have very high acquisition and operation costs. In contrast, recent consumer-grade and off-the-shelf soft- and hardware can be used to create increasingly realistic virtual reality flight...
Volumetric Data Interaction in AR and VR Using a Handheld Touch-Sensitive Device
This position paper introduces the idea of utilising a mobile touch-sensitive device for interacting with volumetric data in MixedReality environments, such as Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality. The interaction techniques include spatial transformations, dataslicing, as well as the creation of snapshots. These actions are executed with the help of the...
