This AR Helmet Lets Helicopter Pilots 'Own The Sky' - VRScout

Pilots can actually see through the body of the aircraft as they fly. International technology company Elbit Systems this week unveiled a helicopter vision suite for military helicopters that uses a combination of augmented reality (AR), machine learning, and artificial intelligence to provide pilots better visibility while in degraded visibility conditions. The system is powerful, according to the company, that pilots can actually see through the aircraft as they fly. The platform is built around three primary components: an AR head-mounted display (HMD), an AI-powered mission computer, and an array of sensor systems, including the Xplore radar and BrightNite multispectral payload, which includes day and Infra-Red cameras for thermal vision. These sensors are mounted to the nose of the plane and are used to generate a virtual map of the local terrain, including any obstacles such as powerlines or antennas.
