Avituals
Avituals, a portmanteau of "aviation" and "virtual," refer to the use of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies in the aviation industry. These technologies are employed to enhance training, maintenance, and operational efficiency in aviation. In training, avituals provide immersive simulations that allow pilots and crew members to practice and refine their skills in a safe and controlled environment. For maintenance, VR and AR can be used to create detailed, interactive models of aircraft components, enabling technicians to identify and address issues more effectively. In operations, avituals can assist in navigation and situational awareness, providing pilots with enhanced visual cues and data overlays. The integration of avituals in aviation is expected to continue growing as the technologies advance, offering significant benefits in terms of safety, cost-efficiency, and overall performance.
