Emirates Introduces VR Haptics for A380 Training at ForsaTEK 2024 with SenseGlove

Emirates is changing aviation training standards with the launch of VR haptics technology at ForsaTEK 2024. Working with SenseGlove, the haptic feedback devices manufacturer, Emirates used Virtual Reality (VR) training to change the way trainees touch and feel aircraft systems with the new Nova 2 haptic device. This brings touch sensations into the body for the submersed experience of a simulated reality-A320 environment.

Why VR Haptics Change the Game for Aviation

It would otherwise call for the construction and maintenance of physical simulators, honestly quite expensive and impossible to scale up. VR haptics, therefore, become an immersive and costless substitute. 

With Sense Glove’s Nova 2, one can feel the texture, force, and related movements reflecting the cockpit controls and systems of an aircraft. The entire work surrounds real-world interaction, so pilots, engineers, and cabin crew learn procedures easier as well as more confidently.

With this addition of haptic feedback to virtual reality, Emirates reinforces that its personnel will have the latest tools for operations in complex environments. Emirates will also take the opportunity to scale training without quality being compromised.

How Emirates Augments its A380 Training Program Using Virtual Reality

With the A380 in the virtual reality simulation, you’ll never see a training environment quite like it. Trainees could learn how to operate the cockpit and manage the onboard systems, as well as how to respond to emergency scenarios. The immersion of touching such situations in the training environment would be further enhanced by the interaction of the SenseGlove Nova 2. 

According to Emirates, ForsaTEK 2024 demonstrated the prospects of VR haptics as a scalable and sustainable method of training under reduced scaling conditions but also enabled the accessibility of trainees in different venues.

Conclusion:

It is a great leap into the next step in aviation training as Emirates and SenseGlove link at ForsaTEK 2024. The airline sets the very best example for a training experience that is scalable, efficient, and immersive with VR haptics for aviation professionals who are at the ultimate test of their lives.
