Development of a Photorealistic Extended Reality Based Flight Simulator for UAM Operations
EF 2023-24
Résumé
Urban Air Mobility (UAM) is the new air transport system that uses low-mid level urban airspace below ~2000 ft. UAM focuses on the urban and suburban environments. Considering the growing interest in extended reality (XR) technology, efforts to incorporate XR into various fields, such as aviation, training, health, and education, are increasing. UAM is also a rapidly growing industry that requires the incorporation of XR technology. This proposed collaboration with Konkuk University (South Korea) aims to explore the development of a photorealistic XR-based flight simulator for UAM operations in Toronto and Seoul. Developing the XR-based flight simulator based on the environment of the city of Toronto and the city of Seoul will allow Canadian and Korean pilots to speed up their plans to adopt XR technology for actual flight in Canada and Korea and to provide an integrated product that aims to train UAM pilots from flight simulation to actual operations.
