A Framework for Air Crash Accident Investigation with the Help of Virtual Reality

The objective of this study is to propose a conceptual framework for improving the motivation of people who have not been previously exposed to a particular subject, by creating a three-dimensional (3D) environment based on a written report of an air accident which would provide a deeper understanding of the factors and the role played by the underlying technology. In particular, the framework will also demonstrate the effectiveness of VR in investigating aviation disasters. The model presented in the proposed framework effectively simulates a simple to understand procedure of the accident followed by an air crash. As a result, a series of steps are presented in the proposed framework which a trainer can go through to construct and virtually emulate the chronology of events in the accident. Using this research, the leaners can obtain a complete view of the factors which could lead an aircraft to crash, and interacting with the scene to learn new information and facts within context. This study contributes to the process of creating the groundwork for adopting VR in air crash investigations to perform studies using participants without prior exposure to air crash investigation and capture their interest and motivation when learning about this area using virtual reality. The research focuses on classifying the object (aircraft) according to the airplane trajectory to visualize when a stall warning is to be activated, which uses parameter data and the features of the surrounding area of the crash or accident. The airplane trajectory provides supplementary information (time, airplane trajectory, bank angle), wreckage above the ground, and full view projection as the primary VR features that are required for conducting and learning air crash accident investigations using VR.
