Realistic Mixed-Reality Training for Multi-Crew Helicopter Operations
XR-SIM is a mixed-reality helicopter simulator developed to enable highly realistic and efficient professional pilot training. It combines a full-scale physical helicopter cockpit with an immersive virtual flight environment, allowing crews to interact with real aircraft controls while experiencing dynamic, computer-generated flight scenarios.
A key capability of XR-SIM is true multi-crew training in mixed reality. Two pilots can train simultaneously in the same cockpit, share identical visual and operational conditions, and practice coordination, communication, and decision-making as a crew. The tight integration of physical and virtual elements creates a training environment that closely reflects real operational workflows.
The system is based on a modular cockpit concept. The cockpit can be used as a standalone mixed-reality training device or seamlessly integrated into a full-flight simulator. High-precision tracking and synchronization technologies ensure accurate alignment between real cockpit movements and the virtual environment, providing consistent and repeatable training conditions.
