Systems and methods for forming and displaying an analyte location map

A system comprising:

• a virtual detector configured to generate analyte location data based on placement of a virtual threat source;
• a display device;
• and
• a controller comprising
• a location module configured to track a three-dimensional (3D) location and an orientation of the display device,
• a mapping module configured to
• generate 3D data of an area, and
• combine the 3D data and the analyte location data to form an analyte location map, and
• a presentation module configured to display the analyte location map on the display device based on the tracked location of the display device.

A method comprising

• measuring a concentration of an analyte utilizing a detector;
• outputting, by the detector, a signal based on the measured concentration of the analyte;
• determining, with a controller, a three-dimensional (3D) location of the detector while measuring the concentration of the analyte;
• determining, with the controller, a 3D location and an orientation of a display device;
• generating, with the controller, 3D data of an area;
• generating, with a controller, analyte location data based on the signal from the detector and tracked 3D location of the detector;
• combining, with the controller, the 3D data and the analyte location data to form an analyte location map;
• and
• displaying the analyte location map on the display device based on the tracked 3D location of the display device.
