Systems and methods for augmented reality aviation interfaces

Abstract

An augmented reality (AR) system for aviation generates aviation objects over an image during flight. The AR system may determine a location and an orientation of the image capture device based on the location information and orientation information. The AR system may determine a field of view of the image capture device and identify aviation objects within the field of view. The AR system can then generate graphical user interface elements for identified aviation objects to be overlayed on the image data.

We claim: 
     
         1 . An augmented reality apparatus for aviation, comprising:
 a video interface to receive image data from an image capture device;   a sensor interface to receive location information and orientation information related to the image capture device;   a memory to store aviation object information; and   a processing unit to:
 determine a location and an orientation of the image capture device based on the location information and orientation information; 
 determine a field of view of the image capture device; 
 identify aviation objects within the field of view; and 
 generate graphical user interface elements for identified aviation objects to be overlaid on the image data.
