Research taps AI to develop virtual efficiencies for industry
From SFU News
Aircraft maintenance crews could soon be checking their engines in a virtual world, given new research underway by ÓÈÎïÊÓÆµ 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, SFU 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.
