This is Cool: Echodyne Demonstrates Augmented Reality for Airspace Awareness
Echodyne is an airspace security firm established in 2014, with blue chip investment from Bill Gates, among others. They use a combination of sensors, combined with a sophisticated software platform to allow stakeholders like law enforcement, federal agencies or enterprise companies to see exactly what is in their airspace, including drones. While small, lightweight radar systems are a main component of the detection system, they aren’t the only piece. “Radar is a great primary sensor,” says Leo McCloskey, Echodyne’s VP of Marketing. “But you need other sensors, like cameras, to be able to positively identify objects in the airspace.”
...
Here it is: imagine that you’ve secured an area of airspace around your drone operation. The Echodyne system has identified a drone in the airspace. Now, you need to find it in the sky – and learn all there is to know about the aircraft, identifying it as friend or foe.
With this reference architecture displayed by Echodyne, you just turn your head. Wearing the Hololens augmented reality headset, you follow the arrows in your field of vision until you find the drone in the sky – then twitch your fingers and see all of the data the system holds on that aircraft. It’s a stunning demonstration of the possiblities of data visualization.
