Graphical user interface customization in a movable object environment

Abstract

Techniques are disclosed for user interface management in a movable object environment. A user interface manager can request sensor data associated with a movable object from a data manager. The user interface manager can provide the sensor data to one or more user interface elements associated with the user interface element. A first rendering of the at least one user interface element can be caused to be displayed in a user interface, the first rendering determined based on a type or amount of the sensor data associated with the movable object.
