New Simulator Combines Real And Virtual Elements In Mixed-Reality Headset Ryan Aerospace is launching its brand-new Robinson Mixed-Reality Helicopter Simulator at RotorTech this week in Gold Coast, Australia. The new mixed-reality simulator redefines professional, affordable simulation using the latest mixed-reality technologies. Mixed Reality (MR) means the trainee (wearing a headset with built-in passthrough cameras) can see real elements in the headset as well as virtual ones. For example, the pilot’s body, controls, seat, kneeboard and some control panels/avionics are all seen as real while the rest of the instruments, the cabin and out-the-window visuals are virtual. All of this is packaged in a small-footprint simulator platform with built-in motion platform that can fit into just a small office space.
