Abstract
An augmented-reality head-mounted display is configured to display an indication of a location of an unmanned aerial vehicle with respect to the field-of-view of the head-mounted display, in order to assist a UAV operator to maintain line-of-sight with the UAV.
Claims20
A device comprising:
- an augmented-reality (AR) head-mounted display (HMD);
- and
- processing circuitry configured to:
- determine a location of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV);
- determine a position and orientation of the AR HMD;
- based on the location of the UAV and the position and orientation of the AR HMD, determine that the UAV is outside of a field of view of the AR HMD;
- and
- in response to determining that the UAV is outside of the field of view of the AR HMD, present, on the AR HMD, an indication of a movement to bring the UAV within the field of view of the AR HMD.
