The research described in this report is being conducted to support the development of a new technology. This technology builds on prior research and existing technology in which humans and machines work synergistically to control self motion in situations that are demanding because of limitations to sensory or motor systems. Significant improvement in the simulation of self motion could be made if there were a means to control independently the ...
A study was conducted to investigate new approaches in motion simulation. The study developed a conceptual model of pilot control of an aircraft which was subsequently used in a need-based analysis of motion cuing devices. The analysis technique involved a frequency domain representation of aircraft maneuvers, pilot perception of these maneuvers, and pilot perception of the cues from various simulator cuing devices. The analysis led to an assessment founded upon ...
