  • Publication number: 20240342513
    Abstract: An emergency oxygen system for an internal cabin of a vehicle includes a housing including one or more compartments, and one or more oxygen assemblies. The one or more oxygen assemblies include a mask and a fluid conduit. The mask is configured to be stowed within and deployed from the one or more compartments. A door is moveably secured to the housing. The door is moveable between a closed position underneath the one or more compartments to secure the mask within the one or more compartments, and an open position during a deployment event in which the mask drops down and laterally out of the one or more compartments. The mask is configured to hang down from a portion of the door when the door is in the open position. The emergency oxygen assemblies can be separate and distinct from passenger service units (PSUs).

  • Publication number: 20230258427
    Abstract: The present disclosure explains a system and method for determining a spatial orientation of a weapon in an augmented reality training environment. Fiducial markers are mounted on the weapon and two cameras are mounted on a user's head to capture spatial coordinates of the plurality of fiducial markers. The spatial coordinates of fiducial markers are processed to determine the spatial orientation of the weapon and a simulated discharging of the weapon. Augmented reality imagery is generated based on the spatial orientation and the detected movement. The augmented reality imagery corresponding to the spatial orientation and discharging of the weapon is rendered for the user with the head-mounted display.
