Head Tracking for Using a GPS-Aided 3D Audio MEMS IMU

摘要

Spatial orientation plays a critical role in aviation, especially under conditions of instrument flight rules. The ability to detect the direction of an aircraft's heading, the ground, an airfield, and approaching aircraft is particularly challenging at night or in stormy weather. This article describes ongoing work to develop a GPS/IMU-based head tracking system to provide 3D audio dues that can help pilots orient themselves in adverse circumstances.
