Logan Airport (Boston) Using Multiple Monitors in State of the Art Training Facility
Filed Under Hardware, Industry News, Rigs
Close to home, Logan Airport, is doing something close to my heart by mimicking a control tower for training new controllers and workers. In addition to what looks like 7+ rear projected monitors making up the video wall, the interactive simulation has voice recognition so spoken radio commands are translated to moving virtual airplanes for a native feel.
The system, designed by Adacel Systems Inc., will be deployed to 19 locations across North America as part of a $48 million dollar contract. Logan will begin their instillation this fall.
I can see all the Microsoft Flight Simulator fans wanting a piece of this action, so I don’t know any other way to let you down easier than saying it would probably cost you $2.5mil ($48mil / 19 locations) unless you do it yourself.
