Motion perception thresholds in flight simulation

Pilot perception models include detailed descriptions of the sensory dynamics involved in human spatial orientation. For example, the TNO Spatial Orientation model contains transfer functions of the visual and vestibular system (semicircular canals and otoliths). In our previous attempts to apply this model for the validation of simulator motion...

Effect of sway and yaw motion on perception and control; A multi-simulator, follow-up study

The three Dutch research institutes NLR, TNO and TU Delft are collaborating to perform a multi-simulator follow-up study aimed at investigating the influence of yaw and translational motion cues in helicopter- and general flight-simulation. In this study, new experimental results will be combined with pilot modeling. Two experiments will be...
