AVRRC facilities
The AVRRC maintains comprehensive state-of-the-art facilities forming the heart of its Advanced Virtual Engineering Centre to underpin development of next generation modelling, simulation and visualization research.
These facilities include dedicated bespoke hardware and software resources to support research into AI/machine learning, model-based systems engineering, augmented and virtual reality, synthetic environments, digital-twin and associated distributed co-simulation activities.
Human in the loop evaluations feature in almost all our research projects. Consequently, we have developed facilities to support this type of research. This involves wearable computers, novel imaging systems, systems for use in aircraft cockpits, human performance assessment tools, AI supercomputers and MBSE transformation tools for engineering, etc.
These facilities have supported research across aerospace/defence, automotive, construction, energy, healthcare, medical technologies, sport, transport and the utility sectors.
Facilities include:
- Immersive display technologies: Vision domes (5m and 4m), Panoramic Display Systems, Head Mounted Displays, Augmented/Virtual Reality Systems
- AI/machine learning super-computer
- Human in the loop simulators
- Cockpits (fixed and rotary wing)
- Ground control stations (autonomous and telepresence)
- Advanced spatial tracking systems
- Eye tracking
- Dedicated specialised test facilities
We also offer facilities and test equipment to provide independent assessment and evaluation of specialised visualization equipment. These facilities have been used in critical technology assessments and in support of legal expert witness cases.
