 The
PRISMS simulator was originally developed as a helicopter flight simulator
with capabilities necessary to demonstrate helmet-mounted display
(HMD) symbology along with facilities for knowledge acquisition, experimental
control, and data recording. Features include a gaming area of realistic
terrain, multiple moving targets, photo-textured objects, 3D sound,
voice synthesis and recognition, and full flight controls. PRISMS
offers an immersive, approach with an opaque visor, providing an effective
virtual reality experience, as well as an accurate head tracker so
that symbology positioning and behavior is appropriately slaved to
the user's head movements. The system is configured to simulate flight
through terrain generated from digital terrain elevation databases.
PRISMS models the flight characteristics and HMD symbology of the
AH-64 Apache attack helicopter and the popular Robinson R-22. The
Army uses PRISMS with a special motion model for RAH-66 Comanche helicopter
familiarization. NASA uses PRISMS for Mars Lander and Rover simulations.
