Abstract

This project presents a study under development with the Portuguese Air Force in order to improve the ability of F-16 pilots to analyze post-flight data using virtual reality (VR) devices. The technology allows the simulator to be programmed and the design allows the study of the best location of the different data to be presented to the pilots. This paper focuses on the literature review and analysis of existing solutions in which the specification of the requirements for the practical development of the project has been completed.

    Design Thinking – According to the book Guide to innovation, it is the “… set of methods and processes to approach problems, acquiring new information, and knowledge that later translates into new solutions. The premise behind this concept is to understand the methods and processes that designers use in order to raise the level of innovation” Porto Innovation Hub, s.d, Pag. 91.
