XR-based Human Factors Evaluation for Next-Generation Armored Vehicle Crew Space



Introduction
XR-based Human Factors Evaluation for Next-Generation Armored Vehicle Crew Space
This project enables defense company to evaluate the human factors and ergonomics of next-generation armored vehicle interiors through a full-scale mixed-reality environment.
The system supports multi-user simultaneous access, allowing engineers, operators, and commanders to collaboratively review spatial design, operational reachability, and visibility in real time.

About
The solution allows crew members to sit inside a physical mockup of the vehicle while digital controls, interior layouts, and interaction elements are overlaid through mixed reality, enabling highly accurate ergonomic and operational evaluations.
Multiple users can join the same virtual environment simultaneously, while a centralized monitoring dashboard tracks participant views, interactions, and scenario progress for comprehensive oversight.

Business Impact
By combining real physical mockups with mixed-reality overlays, defense company can validate crew comfort, control accessibility, and mission workflows long before manufacturing begins, significantly reducing late-stage design risks. Multi-user collaboration and centralized supervision accelerate decision-making, lower development costs, and enhance the overall effectiveness and safety of the next-generation armored vehicle platform.
