My Project

These virtual reality goggles will enable our students to immerse themselves in the Microsoft flight simulation program. We have a motion seat which moves in three dimensions but the virtual reality goggles will coordinate the actions of the seat to what the students are seeing.

The other advantage of this VR experience is that they will be able to "look outside the airplane." This is important to teach them situational awareness of not only where other aircraft are located but also lining up landing approaches, etc.

The flight simulator package will help our rural students experience the wonders of flight at a much reduced cost.
