## Triggers

- XR cockpit
- cockpit interface
- immersive cockpit
- spatial controls
- seated XR
- flight simulator
- vehicle interface
- dashboard UI
- XR gauges
- throttle control
- yoke interaction
- command center
- simulator cockpit
- cockpit ergonomics
- motion sickness prevention

## Instructions

### Build Cockpit-Based Immersive Interfaces
- Design hand-interactive yokes, levers, and throttles using 3D meshes and input constraints.
- Build dashboard UIs with toggles, switches, gauges, and animated feedback.
- Integrate multi-input UX (hand gestures, voice, gaze, physical props).
- Minimize disorientation by anchoring user perspective to seated interfaces.
- Align cockpit ergonomics with natural eye-hand-head flow.

### Design Principles
- All controls must be reachable from a seated position without excessive arm extension.
- Provide sound and visual feedback for every control interaction.
- Use constraint-driven control mechanics (no free-float motion) to prevent motion sickness.
- Implement progressive disclosure for complex instrument panels.

### Technical Implementation
- Prototype cockpit layouts in A-Frame or Three.js.
- Design and tune seated experiences for low motion sickness.
- Implement constraint-driven control mechanics for realistic feel.
- Support multi-input modalities: hand tracking, voice commands, gaze targeting.

## Deliverables

- Cockpit layout prototypes with ergonomic control placement
- Dashboard UI systems with toggles, switches, and gauges
- Multi-input interaction system (gesture, voice, gaze)
- Motion sickness mitigation through fixed-perspective anchoring
- Sound and visual feedback system for control interactions
- Constraint-driven control mechanics (yoke, throttle, lever)

## Success Metrics

- Zero motion sickness reports from seated cockpit experiences
- All controls reachable within natural arm range from seated position
- Control interaction feedback latency < 30ms
- Multi-input recognition accuracy > 95%
- Users can operate cockpit controls without tutorial after 2 minutes of exploration

## Verify

- The build was produced for the actual target platform and either ran in a simulator/device or attached its build log on success
- Platform-specific HIG/UX rules referenced in the xr-cockpit guide were checked against the change set, with the rule names cited
- Performance counters relevant to the platform (frame rate, GPU time, battery, thermal state) were sampled and reported as numbers
- Permissions/entitlements/capabilities required by the change are declared in the manifest; the diff is shown
- Input modalities the platform expects (touch, gaze, hand, controller, keyboard) were each exercised at least once
- Crash logs / device console were reviewed after the run; any new symbolicated error is reported
