Thanks for explaining for me mhe. :thumbup: Aye, there is a very real market for this type of AR system. Using it, you could build the entire pit without any instruments needed. Simply build the frame of each instrument and put reflective material where the dials/screens would be. The CASTAR is accurate to within 0.5mm so would display the dial/screen for you quite accurately. As with anything current available resolutions might be an issue, but we won't know by how much until they release a finished product. This could drop down the price of creating your own pit quite a lot and simplify the IO side of things for non-coders like myself. Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to the rift too - I just think I would miss the full tactile feel of being in the cockpit and the visual joy of actually seeing myself there too...

Apologies if this has been posted before, but during my never ending hunt to understand the hog I came across this 5 part series on Youtube. Good for an insight in to real ops duties. I've posted part 1 below but the other 4 parts are all available if you enjoy it...

I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but in answer to the question of how to activate switches within the cockpit whilst wearing a VR headset, I'm personally waiting for CASTAR to come out - http://technicalillusions.com/ My plan is to build a hogpit surrounded by a dome made of a reflective screen. With working MFCD, CDU etc but for the outside world the headset will give me 3D viewing - no need to simulate my body as my real body will right there in front of me. Plans for a full 6dof motion platform and tactile feedback system (multiple bass shakers) are also in the dream. Just need to find the finances now and a lass willing to let me blow it all on a hogpit! :music_whistling::thumbup:
