Virtual Reality Ami airshuttle air cab vr simulation
LIGHTSHAPE has developed a VR application for the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt to simulate an autonomous drone flight for passenger transport as part of a research project. Industry, business and science are working together at AMI-AirShuttle (Holistic Air Mobility Initiative Bavaria) to develop a comprehensive solution for the operation of airport vertiports. The VR simulation is being used as part of a study to investigate, among other things, the acceptance of a flight with an air cab.
The simulation starts in a vertiport, i.e. a station for air cabs. There, the passenger follows the marked path outside to the drone's takeoff and landing area. On leaving the building, the passenger must first pass through an electronic ticket control. Once outside, he boards the drone and the drone takes off on its own. The flight begins in the city center. At a cruising altitude of 250 meters, the drone leaves the urban area. After a few minutes, the drone already lands at the destination airport in Munich.
