An Android Based Flight Simulator using VR Technology

Abstract

For training young pilots. Flight simulators enhance the safety measures, as the risk factor of severe injuries are eliminated since the training is now synthetic. However, flight simulators also require large space, large budget and does have many high end requirements, which are to be met in order to make the simulator respond and perform identical to that of a real aircraft. Flight simulators does have their hardware constraints and because of these limitations, the simulators are not of generic nature that supports different sort of aircrafts. In this paper, the simulator environment is deployed in virtual reality to simulate the similar controls on a stereoscopic environment. Deployment of the simulator is such, that experience of flying an aircraft from cockpit will give a sensational view to the user. Virtual reality is used in learning purpose, as normal person can experience what it will be like, to fly an aircraft
