EarPilot: flying an airplane by ear

by Rogers George | at Minnebar 19

Eyesight is normally a requirement for flying an airplane. But not completely, not anymore!

EarPilot is a novel iPhone app that provides audio cues to allow control of an airplane through basic maneuvers without sight.

  • Learn why we made the app, how it works, and what happened when our brave blind pilot tried it out in a real airplane.

  • Talk about Accessibility and inclusivity techniques in apps

  • Talk about computing with spatial data

  • Talk about private aviation and medical certification
