Extended Reality as an enabling technology to Advanced Air Mobility Project experiences of the Virtual Reality and Simulation Laboratory at the University of Bologna

In Human-Centred design methodologies the human figure is the key element for the deployment of transversal effective solutions able to meet real world demands. Extended Reality Technologies aid in conveying such design solutions in a immersive and intuitive way. This paper presents an overview of using Extended Reality Technologies in the aerospace field, emphasizing the contributions given from the Virtual Reality and Simulation Laboratory (VLAB), at the University of Bologna. Moreover, it discusses the potential of incorporating immersive media and Human-Centred Design approach for the deployment of groundbreaking transport solutions such as Advanced Air Mobility and Urban Air Mobility.
