Mobile AR and Situational Awareness

• Multiple equipped users out in the field
• Each user has GPS, INS, cameras and other
  sensors.
• Each user has a copy of 3D database of the
  environment they are in, with mobile
  visualization tools.
• Users can register their current location with
  the database using sensors
• Can discover things about their environments
  using the database.
• Can update the centralized 3D database with new
  potentially time varying information
• Can track moving objects among different users in
  a de-centralized fashion
• Centralized servers can
• Update the 3D database based on info from
  distributed users
• Relay the update to distributed users
• Coordinate tracking of objects among multiple
  users
• Visualize the location of all users, or moving
  objects taking uncertainty into consideration
• Make sense and make decisions based on uncertain
  data, processing algorithm.

Discussion

• Large number of innovative results
• A synergistic, coherent group of researchers
  collaborating across different diciplines
• Large impact
• Academic
• Numerous interactions with government and
  industry
• Keep the momentum up by having government sponsor
  this activity beyond the end of this MURI.
