Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/247147
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A system for improving cockpit operations in an aircraft includes an airborne augmented reality module and a ground-based information management module. The augmented reality module may be disposed in the cockpit of the aircraft and may include processing circuitry configured to generate an augmented reality display in the cockpit based at least in part on selected external environmental data received. The information management module may be configured to include external environmental data received from a plurality of sources and generate the selected external environmental data for communication to the augmented reality module via a wireless communication network while the aircraft is in flight. The selected external environmental data may be selected based on aircraft location and a determination of temporal relevance and locational relevance of the selected external environmental data.
