Durip-Visual Simulation Laboratory

Abstract

Funds in the amount of $124,000 were awarded for the purchase of visual simulation equipment. The items purchased with this grant are being integrated with a Frasca simulator cockpit which has flight dynamics resident in a DEC personal computer. Two Evans and Sutherland SPX image generators are to be integrated with this system and the Electro Holme projectors will be used to project the visual images they generate. The IRIS 4D and the IMI 600SN will serve as alternate workstations that will be driven by the flight simulator. This configuration of equipment will allow the exploration of a wide range of behavioral issues that are relevant to flight simulation.
