Original Abstract Submitted
an augmented reality system in an air traffic control tower receives data from multiple airfield sensors and from local aircraft and correlates the data in space and time. features of the airfield are rendered visually in an augmented reality headset during low visibility conditions. the augmented reality system renders visualizations of aircraft and may render data from the aircraft to coincide with the visualizations. the augmented reality system may receive data from systems within the air traffic control tower, commonly rendered on displays in the air traffic control tower and rendered such data within the augmented reality display.
