Abstract
Boundary information associated with a three-dimensional (3D) flying space is obtained, including a boundary of the 3D flying space. Location information associated with an aircraft is obtained, including a location of the aircraft. Information is presented based at least in part on the boundary information associated with the 3D flying space and the location information associated with the aircraft, including by presenting, in a display, the boundary of the 3D flying space and an avatar representing the aircraft at the location of the aircraft.
Claims17
A system, comprising:
- a communications interface that obtains boundary information associated with a three-dimensional (3D) flying space, including a boundary of the 3D flying space, wherein the 3D flying space is defined by a center path and a cross section about the path;
- a processor that:
- determines a distance between the boundary of the 3D flying space and a location of an aircraft;
- and
- compares the distance between the boundary of the 3D flying space and the location of the aircraft against a threshold;
- and
- a user interface that presents at least one of visual, audio, and haptic feedback about a relative distance between the boundary of the 3D flying space and the location of the aircraft based at least in part on the comparison.
A method, comprising:
- obtaining boundary information associated with a three-dimensional (3D) flying space, including a boundary of the 3D flying space, wherein the 3D flying space is defined by a center path and a cross section about the path;
- determining a distance between the boundary of the 3D flying space and a location of an aircraft;
- comparing the distance between the boundary of the 3D flying space and the location of the aircraft against a threshold;
- and
- presenting, in a user interface, at least one of visual, audio, and haptic feedback about a relative distance between the boundary of the 3D flying space and the location of the aircraft based at least in part on the comparison.
A computer program product, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
- obtaining boundary information associated with a three-dimensional (3D) flying space, including a boundary of the 3D flying space, wherein the 3D flying space is defined by a center path and a cross section about the path;
- determining a distance between the boundary of the 3D flying space and a location of an aircraft;
- comparing the distance between the boundary of the 3D flying space and the location of the aircraft against a threshold;
- and
- presenting, in a user interface, at least one of visual, audio, and haptic feedback about a relative distance between the boundary of the 3D flying space and the location of the aircraft is based at least in part on the comparison.
