SoarTech's WingMAN is a virtual reality-based training and review system designed to combat flight-induced spatial disorientation (SD). This cost-effective solution assists aviators in understanding flight paths prone to SD illusions such as Coriolis, leans, and somatogravic effects. By simulating these scenarios in a customizable virtual environment with various aircraft, terrains, and weather conditions, WingMAN aims to enhance pilot preparedness for mission-critical flights. The system, built in Unity, uses VR headsets to immerse aviators while collecting physiological data like electrodermal activity and heart rate to track changes induced by SD. Key features include realistic simulated flights, modifiable scenarios, integrated physiological sensors, and the capability for advanced stimulation to elicit controlled SD effects within VR.
