Revolutionising Aviation Training with Apple Vision Pro and Spatial Computing

Lufthansa Aviation Training (LAT) faced the challenge of maintaining excellence in aviation training while adapting to evolving industry demands. To innovate and elevate the quality of their courses, LAT sought to integrate cutting-edge technology with Apple Vision Pro and spatial computing. These tools offers the potential to increase the quality of the training experience overcome challenges such as motion sickness and create even more realistic training experiences for cockpit and cabin crews. With the prototype they wanted to proof an experience without controllers and more realistic gestures and hand movements reaching a quality level where XR training can become a substitute for current certified trainings.

We are just starting to see the beginning of a shift in aviation training towards more realistic, versatile, and competency-driven concepts. This shift is being enabled by Extended Reality (XR) technology, which is bridging the gap between expensive and limited physical simulation fidelity and a more trainee-focused, scenario-oriented environment.
