From ´óÏó´«Ã½ News

Aircraft maintenance crews could soon be checking their engines in a virtual world, given new research underway by ´óÏó´«Ã½ and National Research Council of Canada (NRC) collaborators.

Researchers are using virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) to enable crews to ‘walk’ around a virtual airplane engine and assess its flight performance remotely, using simulation and sensors added to real aircraft engines.

Eying benefits to Canada’s aerospace industry and beyond, ´óÏó´«Ã½ School of Interactive Arts and Technology professor Wolfgang Stuerzlinger and the NRC’s Digital Technologies Group are collaborating on the research, which simulates interaction with real-world objects that are augmented with Internet of Things (IoT) technology.
