Simulation Universe - Level 2
Ever wanted to know how those pilots land on an aircraft carrier? At Otronicon, you’ll see firsthand.
Experience state of the art medical and military simulators not normally seen by the public. These are the actual tools professionals in these fields use to train with. Feel the rush pilots feel as they’re soaring at hundreds of miles per hour, or the intensity of a medical professional as they work to save a life.
And for the daredevil in you, our larger-than-life racing simulators will have you feeling like your ready for the circuit! The modeling and simulation industry is quickly becoming one of the most important to Central Florida and these simulators will give you an up-close look.

Medical Sim City
Presented by Florida Hospital
Simulation training gives healthcare professionals a new and enlightening perspective on how to handle real medical situations. Through scenarios that simulate genuine crisis management situations, medical simulation can increase the level of healthcare quality that participants provide.Patient simulators can be programmed to talk, function, and reacts like a real patient. They can mimic many normal and abnormal body functions and responds as a patient would to medical treatment. These simulators represent a breakthrough in medical training because they provide the opportunity to rehearse both simple and complex emergency procedures.
Welcome to Medical Sim City at Otronicon. Come see how this technology is being used to create better doctors, nurses and other medical professionals.

Simulation Universe - Level 2
Donated to the Orlando Science Center by Lockheed Martin
In 1929, Edward Albert Link created the first ever flight simulator when he created his Pilot Trainer (aka Blue Box). This simulator used a vacuum pump that operated the bellows in order to create the feel of a “pitch” and “roll” experienced during real flight. During World War II, the ANT-18 Basic Instrument Trainer, was used as the standard equipment at every air training school in the U.S. and Allied nations. The Blue Box has been designated as A Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
See the "Blue Box" on display in Military Tech on Level 2 during Otronicon!
