Reaching New Heights Thanks To Immersive Learning With AI

Due to the immersive and interactive nature of VR and AR-based devices, a more comprehensive and realistic assessment of candidates' suitability for aviation is possible. For example, cognitive abilities, situational awareness, decision-making and crisis management skills, as well as hand-eye coordination and motor skills can be assessed.

VR can simulate different cockpit environments so that pilots in training can familiarize themselves with the structure, instruments, controls and systems of different aircraft types. They can practice cockpit procedures, switchology and emergency scenarios in a realistic virtual environment, facilitating a smoother transition to actual flight training.

VR and AR training can supplement traditional flight training with additional practice sessions and give pilots the opportunity to refine their skills in specific areas such as landing in poor visibility, in mountainous terrain or in congested airspace, allowing pilots to train in a more cost-effective and versatile way.

In simulated emergency scenarios, pilots practise critical decision-making and emergency procedures in a controlled and safe environment. In this way, trainees experience realistic simulations of engine failures, system malfunctions, adverse weather conditions and other challenging situations.

Air traffic controller trainees can practise managing air traffic, monitoring radar screens, communicating with pilots and making decisions in high-pressure situations.

VR can support the training for perfect mastery of visual contact with aircraft, the correct communication gestures and the rules for parking aircraft.

VR and AR can be used in aerospace manufacturing facilities to train employees in assembly processes, quality control and equipment operation. By overlaying digital information with physical workstations or providing interactive virtual simulations, trainees can learn complex manufacturing processes more effectively and reduce errors.

The simulation of space environments helps astronauts train for space missions. Astronauts use this technology to practice the special challenges of space exploration and hone their skills in a simulated space environment - from practicing extravehicular activities (EVAs) to operating spacecraft systems.
