HUD Engineering, In-Cabin AR/MR, and 3D Visualization — projection, occlusion, luminance, compliance, and testing.

About us HUD Engineering, In-Cabin AR/MR, and 3D Visualization — projection, occlusion, luminance, compliance, and testing.

HUD engineering, in-cockpit AR/MR, and 3D visualization addresses the advanced design of optical projection systems integrated into aeronautical platforms, emphasizing critical aspects such as occlusion, luminance, and regulatory compliance to ensure ergonomics and operational effectiveness in eVTOLs, tiltrotors, and helicopters. This field combines fundamentals of adaptive optics, dynamics/control with AFCS/FBW systems, as well as advanced modeling using CFD and HIL simulation to validate immersive cockpit interfaces under ADS-33E-PRF scenarios, integrating AR/MR technologies with a focus on situational awareness enhancement and pilot workload reduction.

Specialized laboratories enable detailed testing of luminance and occlusion using data acquisition systems, EMC/Lightning testing, and vibroacoustic analysis to ensure the safe integration of HUD and AR/MR systems in cockpits certified under applicable international standards, such as DO-160, DO-178C and ARP4754A. Safety traceability is based on compliance with critical software and hardware regulations and standards, ensuring employment opportunities for professionals in aviation systems design, aeronautical certification, cockpit integration engineering, and flight testing.
