Brunner Wins Contract for NovaSim Mixed Reality Simulator

Lufthansa Aviation Training is buying mixed-reality NovaSim full-motion flight simulation training devices from Brunner Elektronik.

When the student puts on a special headset, the blank walls near the NovaSim mixed-reality simulator turn into a vibrant and highly realistic view of the rest of the aircraft and the outside world.

Simulation component manufacturer Brunner Elektronik won a contract to provide its NovaSim MR (mixed-reality) full-motion simulator to Zürich, Switzerland-based Lufthansa Aviation Training (LAT). The NovaSim MR is a lightweight and compact flight simulation training device that uses virtual virtual reality to fill in details of the simulated aircraft and outside surroundings.

The NovaSim MR device for LAT replicates the twin-engine Diamond DA42 and is equipped with FlightSafety International’s Mixed Reality Flight device integrating its Vital 1150 level-D image generator. While wearing a Varjo XR-3 MR headset, the pilot interacts with real cockpit avionics and controls. The MR technology seamlessly merges the real cockpit and the virtual 360-degree outside view in the headset to give the pilot full immersion, with no limits on the field of view as is normal with traditional simulators.
