Luna Labs and Aechelon Launch Next-Generation Flight Simulation Training Partnership

Orlando, FL (USA) — 25 November 2024 – Aechelon Technology Inc. announced today the first-of-its-kind Image Generator direct interface for 3WAVES, Luna Labs’ 3-Axis Wearable Adaptive Vestibular Stimulation System to induce virtual motion sensations of yaw, pitch, and roll.

This innovative system, the result of a close engineering collaboration between Aechelon Technology and Luna Labs, will be publicly demonstrated for the first time on December 2, 2024, at the I/ITSEC 2024 conference, Aechelon’s Booth #1101.

The demonstration will feature an F-16 cockpit system utilizing maximum resolution and frame rate capabilities of the Varjo XR-4 Secure Edition headset, integrated with Aechelon’s highest-performance image generator and databases. The system is specifically tailored to support U.S. Government evaluations of Luna Labs’ advanced vestibular stimulation technology.

Luna Labs USA, in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic, developed the state-of-the-art technology, and when paired with Aechelon’s interface, the 3WAVES system reduces cybersickness by aligning visual and vestibular inputs. Users experience lifelike sensations of roll, pitch, and yaw motions, thanks to Luna Labs’ patent-pending electrophysiology techniques.

The demonstration system integrates Aechelon’s Mixed Reality (MR) Station with a high-resolution worldwide 3D visual and sensor database, which includes extensive coverage of domestic and foreign areas of interest. This global database is already operational in other Department of Defense (DoD) programs, ensuring seamless compatibility and commonality with existing U.S. DoD devices employing Aechelon image generators. Demonstrations at the conference will spotlight these revolutionary advances in simulation fidelity, realism, and usability, addressing critical training needs for military and aerospace applications.
