HiWi for "Implementation of a Head Mounted Display (Augmented Reality) in the Rotorcraft Simulation Environment ROSIEX"

03.04.2024, Studentische Hilfskräfte, Praktikantenstellen, Studienarbeiten

Hours: 10-20 per week (negotiable) Background: At the Chair for Rotorcraft and Vertical Flight the Rotorcraft Simulation Environment ROSIEX is used for research in different areas relating to the future of vertical flight. It is a state-of-the-art fixed base simulator which enables fast and comprehensive tests of systems and components as well as valuable insights towards their impact on the aircraft and its personnel. One of these components is a so-called Head/Helmet Mounted Display (HMD). It is used to display information and data within the field of view of the pilot. By using such HMDs there is less need for the pilot to look on the so-called head-down instrument panel. This can lead to a reduction in workload as well as an improved situational awareness. In previous studies a former HMD system has been evaluated at the chair. Due to advancements in technology, there are better devices available at the market nowadays. Hence, it has been decided to invest in a new HMD. The so-called HoloLens 2 has been bought and shall be implemented in the simulator now. For this, Unity in combination with C# programming shall be used. In the end a modular platform shall exist, which enables fast calibration of the system as well as easy usage and extendibility of the visual augmentation. Goal: Implementation of the Head Mounted Display “HoloLens 2” in the Rotorcraft Simulation Environment ROSIEX using Unity in Combination with C# (gRPC). A modular framework for further extension of the visual augmentation system shall be generated within this process. Skills: Good C# programming knowledge necessary, good Unity programming knowledge necessary, Augmented Reality knowledge is a plus Tools: C#, Unity Language: English, German is a plus Start: March/April 2024 Contact: Christian Eichhorn Research Group Augmented Reality (FAR) Email: christian.eichhorn@tum.de Bastian Bauer Institute for Rotorcraft and Vertical Flight Email: bastian.bauer@tum.de
