A cross-disciplinary team at Cal State University Long Beach is using an immersive virtual reality system to research how human operators interact with urban air mobility (UAM) vehicles — a category of quiet, electric-powered aircraft designed to serve as on-demand air taxis in busy metropolitan areas.
The project brings together engineering, psychology, and computer science students to prototype cockpit technologies and study pilot behavior in simulated environments. Researchers can test interface features — including battery indicators, proximity alerts, and haptic cues — in a fraction of the time it would take in real-world conditions.
