From: Dennis Wightman Subject: Research Facility for VR Comments: To: virtu-l@vmd.cso.uiuc.edu To: Multiple recipients of list VIRTU-L Status: OR The Simulator Training Research Advanced Testbed for Aviation (STRATA) at the Army Research Institute Rotary Wing Aviation Research Unit, Fort Rucker, Alabama has time available for organizations (both government and private) and researchers interested in virtual reality or human performance applications research. STRATA is a fully functional flight simulation facility which employs a fiber optic helmet mounted display (FOHMD) as a means of presenting the out-the-window view to the pilot. The FOHMD is capable of presenting a wide variety of display options including stereo and mono scopic, as well as head and eye tracking. It provides a high-resolution display with a 360 degree field of regard. While STRATA is configured as an AH-64 Apache helicopter, the system can be used for any type of task realm customers may desire. Concept formation and testing may be conducted on STRATA for a wide variety of possible applications including helmet configurations, training systems design, prototyping of helmet mounted displays, avionics displays, or any application where dynamic simulation would be appropriate. The facility is not limited to flight simulation applications. To futher explore options, discuss cost requirement, and other resources available at ARI Fort Rucker, contact Mr. Charles A.
