Using virtual reality for sensory illusion training

The paper discusses using the virtual reality for simulators to simulate the pilot's sensory illusion during flying in IMC and possibility of recognition of spatial disorientation during flight. The first part of the paper describes various approaches to simulators that can be used for pilot illusion simulation. The second part describes design of a sensory illusion simulator prototype using the virtual reality devices. The third part discusses the result of an experimental measurement of simulated in-flight sensory illusion and discusses the possibility of visual indications of the automated illusion detection system. At the end the most important statements are concluded.
