Abstract
A system for validating a component of a means of transportation includes a motion platform having at least three degrees of freedom for dynamic motion simulation of a cockpit of the means of transportation equipped with the component to be validated, a mixed reality display device configured to display an augmented environment to a user located in the cockpit, and a graphics system configured to calculate the augmented environment such that at least the user's hands and the component to be validated are perceptible by the user as real within a virtual environment. A method and computer program with instructions for operating the system are also disclosed.

A system for validating a component of a means of transportation, the system comprising:
- a motion platform comprising at least three degrees of freedom for dynamic motion simulation of a cockpit of the means of transportation, the cockpit being equipped with the component to be validated;
- a mixed reality display device configured to display an augmented environment to a user located in the cockpit;
- and
- a graphics system configured to calculate the augmented environment such that at least the user's hands and the component to be validated are perceptible by the user as real within a virtual environment.
A method for validating a component of a means of transportation, the method comprising:
- activating a motion platform having at least three degrees of freedom to simulate dynamic motion of a cockpit of the means of transportation, the cockpit being equipped with the component to be validated;
- calculating an augmented environment to be displayed by a mixed reality display device to a user located in the cockpit, the augmented environment being calculated such that at least the user's hands and the component to be validated are perceptible by the user as real within a virtual environment;
- and
- transmitting graphics data of the augmented environment to the mixed reality display device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- activate a motion platform having at least three degrees of freedom to simulate dynamic motion of a cockpit of a means of transportation, the cockpit being equipped with a component to be validated;
- calculate an augmented environment to be displayed by a mixed reality display device to a user located in the cockpit, the augmented environment being calculated such that at least the user's hands and the component to be validated are perceptible by the user as real within a virtual environment;
- and
- transmit graphics data of the augmented environment to the mixed reality display device.
