Aviation - Synthetic Vision

Low visibility conditions have always been a major cause of aviation accidents. For years now, NASA has been researching synthetic vision to give pilots, who are surprised by low visibility conditions, an accurate picture of the ground beneath and ahead.

Yet today, synthetic vision is not yet a widespread reality in amateur, commercial, or military aircraft.

With the EarthDetails engine, we are able to squeeze more and higher resolution terrain into smaller devices and interactively fly it at higher frame rates.

As such, we seek industry partners to help bring this technology on cheap devices that can be made readily available today for widespread use and in every cockpit. We also seek advice from experienced pilots to make such device useful and user friendly. We look forward to hearing from you .
