The project created an interactive 3D learning experience on Meta Quest 3 focused on two aircraft engines: Rolls Royce T56 and Pratt & Whitney PT6A-25C. Users can explore engines in a virtual hangar and examine parts up close through interactive 3D visuals and animations.
Learners can inspect components, view animated system operations, and understand airflow, combustion, compression, and turbine mechanics through synchronized audio and visual guidance.
The vision was to simplify complex propulsion engineering concepts into an intuitive, immersive, and interactive learning module, without overwhelming the user with excessive technical density.
Aircraft engines are intricate mechanical systems involving high-speed rotating assemblies, airflow channels, fuel combustion sequences, and exhaust mechanics.
Additionally, both aircraft models required reskinning and texture enhancement to align with real-world aircraft.
