FLIGHT SIMULATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18140802 titled 'FLIGHT SIMULATION SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a flight simulation system that uses virtual reality technology. - The system includes a head-mounted display that shows a virtual cockpit with operational interfaces. - It also includes a haptic device with a touch sensor and vibrator. - The system is controlled by a processor and memory. - The processor performs flight simulation of a user-selected aircraft model. - The head-mounted display shows the virtual reality image of the cockpit and interfaces. - When the user touches the haptic device, the vibrator causes a vibration at the touch location. - The system identifies the operational interface corresponding to the touch location using coordinate data. - Changes are applied to the flight simulation based on the user's interaction with the identified interface.
Original Abstract Submitted
A flight simulation system for performing flight simulation of aircraft models includes a head-mounted display for displaying a virtual reality image of a cockpit including operational interfaces, a haptic device including a touch sensor for detecting a touch location touched by a user and a vibrator for causing a vibration, and a control device including a processor and a memory. The processor execute a process including: performing flight simulation of a model selected by the user; causing the head-mounted display to display the virtual reality image picturing the operational interfaces; when the user touches the haptic device, causing the vibrator to cause a vibration at the touch location; based on coordinate data indicating coordinate locations of the operational interfaces and the touch location, identifying an operational interface corresponding to the touch location; and applying a change based on an operation performed on the identified operational interface to flight simulation.
