SKYWARD

Mixed Reality ATC (Air Traffic Control)

🏆 Winner — MIT Reality Hack hackathon

SKYWARD uses a combination of Mixed Reality features to add a layer of dynamic information over the traditional tools used by air traffic controllers. To make the experience seamless, all interactions are controlled by hand and voice tracking.

As most tools used to visualize airplanes use a 2D top view or a 3D view on a 2D screen, it can be hard to clearly distinct between flights at different altitudes. With SKYWARD, a 3D representation of any airport with surrounding and incoming flights is transported into your environment and can be understood at a quick gaze. Additional layers of information can be added with the simple push of a button: surrounding airplanes, wind patterns, and advanced storm patterns.

SKYWARD won MIT’s Reality Hack hackathon for Best AR Productivity Tool & Best Moonshot Prize.
