Aero Glass Offers 'Augmented Reality' Aerial Navigation

Head-Mounted Display Turns Glasses-Like Device Into A HUD

By Dave Juwel

Aero Glass is introducing a new head-mounted display which offers a pilot a wearable solution for addressing navigation, ADS-B, instrument, weather, and airspace information with access to vital safety procedures and protocols, without the requirement of instruments, phone or iPad.

Aero Glass is the first to bring "Augmented Reality" to pilots, providing a 3D, 360° experience in the cockpit, regardless of the visibility.

They offer a pair of glasses that you wear, which acts as a Head Up Display (HUD), and provides other essential information too. When you're following the highway in the sky in the glasses, if you look left, the tracking squares can still be seen in your glasses to the right, letting you know that you have to turn back to the right to get back on track. The glasses work especially well during night flight. If you wear prescription glasses, they have a frame clip that you can take to your optometrist to be fitted to your glasses, adding their functionality to  your existing glasses. They also have sunglass clips-ons available.

Features available in the initial release include:

  • Airports
  • Navigation Aids
  • ADS-B traffic
  • Flight Plan route & waypoints
  • Airways
  • Geographic points of interest (cities, villages, visual navigation points)

Features the company intends to add in future releases include:

  • Airspaces
  • Terrain elevation
  • Procedures
  • ILS approach cones
  • FLARM traffic (for gliders)
  • Weather
  • Dynamic Data (NOTAM, TFRs)
  • Ground Phase stuff other than runways (taxiways, gates etc)
  • 3D Terrain Avoidance
  • Obstacles

Aero Glass says that now you can have the navigational abilities that much more expensive planes have, and have it at a much lower price point.

Their first release is scheduled for the third quarter of this year.
