GPS based augmented reality collision avoidance system
First Claim
1. A global positioning system (GPS) based augmented reality (AR) aircraft collision avoidance system comprising:
- a headset adapted to be worn by a user;
a GPS receiver for receiving GPS signals and determining a position of a user;
a receiver for receiving a position signal from an object and determining a position of said object therefrom;
a visor mounted on said headset, said visor adapted to display symbology indicating a bearing to said object such that said user is made aware of said bearing via said symbology, said bearing indicating said position of said object with respect to said position of said user.

Abstract
The present invention comprises a global positioning system (GPS) based augmented reality (AR) aircraft collision avoidance system. The system of the present invention includes a GPS receiver for receiving GPS signals and determining a present position using the GPS signals. The system of the present invention also includes an automatic dependent surveillance (ADS-B) receiver for receiving an ADS-B signal from an aircraft. The system of the present invention further includes an AR visor coupled to both the GPS receiver and the ADS-B receiver. The AR visor receives the present position from the GPS receiver and receives the ADS-B signal from the ADS-B receiver. Using the present position and the ADS-B signal, the AR visor determines a three dimensional bearing to the aircraft. The AR visor is adapted to be worn by a user. The AR visor is further adapted to display symbology indicating the three dimensional bearing such that the user is made intuitively aware of the three dimensional bearing via the symbology displayed in the AR visor.
