Applications of extended reality in pilot flight simulator training: a systematic review with meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: The use of extended reality (XR) spectrum technologies as substitutes to augment traditional simulators in pilot flight training has received significant interest in recent times. A systematic review was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of XR technologies for this purpose and better understand the motivating factors for this use. The systematic review followed the QUOROM framework (adapted for educational studies), screening 1237 candidate articles to 67 eligible for thematic analysis, with 5 of these also meeting meta-analysis criteria. Existing literature emphasizes the benefits of these technologies, particularly as a result of immersiveness and spatial awareness, enabling the application of more modern educational theories. Although the existing literature is concerned with much of t
