Abstract

The present invention relates to a flight simulator system including augmented reality glasses that can output HUD images in a more natural position and have a low possibility of obstructing the pilot's field of vision due to HUD images in a flight simulator used for flight training. The system includes a screen installed in front of the pilot's seat, a HUD panel unit formed on the pilot's seat and having a light transmittance of a certain degree or higher, an image output unit that outputs flight simulation images to the screen, and augmented reality glasses worn by the pilot. The augmented reality glasses include a lens, a camera that acquires an image in front of the pilot, an augmented reality image output unit that outputs HUD images to the lens according to control, and a control unit that identifies the position of the HUD panel unit based on the image acquired through the camera and controls the augmented reality image output unit so that the HUD images are positioned and output in the area of the HUD panel unit.

Description

Flight simulator system including augmented reality glasses The present invention relates to a flight simulator system, and more specifically, to a flight simulator system that uses augmented reality glasses to output information displayed on a HUD to a more accurate location. To train airplane pilots, pilot candidates must study various types of flight-related subjects, including flight training. While it is best to conduct such flight training by piloting an actual aircraft, flight training institutions are equipped with separate flight simulators due to practical issues such as cost, safety, time, and the number of aircraft available for training. Conventionally, such flight simulators are typically equipped with a screen at the front, a projector that displays flight footage on the screen, and a cockpit adjacent to the screen, allowing the pilot to conduct simulated flight using a control stick located in the cockpit. The projector outputs flight footage reflecting the pilot's control stick manipulation onto the screen, enabling a more realistic and immersive flight experience. Meanwhile, among the devices used in aircraft is a device called the Head-Up Display (HUD). The HUD is a device that provides information essential for flight and combat without obstructing the pilot's view, allowing the pilot to grasp necessary information in real time while keeping their eyes on the road ahead, without having to lower their head to check the instrument panel. In conventional flight simulators, to simulate the HUD image output from such a HUD, the HUD image was displayed together with the flight image itself projected from the projector. The conventional method described above has problems such as interference with the training video field of view depending on the pilot's position, or the image being displayed in a position different from the actual one.
