Objective
Develop a concept UI/UX for Navy ship bridges that overlays augmented reality (AR) data onto real-time video from shipboard cameras, increasing situational awareness during both day and night operations.

Role
I led this project from inception, conducting research on existing technologies, crafting naval scenarios, and developing all models and visualizations. I also delivered the final concept renderings.
A key innovation I introduced was the integration of a holographic view of the ship's operational environment onto live FLIR (Forward-Looking Infrared) video feeds, significantly enhancing nighttime situational awareness.
Solution
Our solution stitches shipboard camera feeds into a panoramic video, which serves as the foundation for AR overlays. These overlays provide essential data in real time, including:
Course of action and heading
Nearby assets and restricted zones
Operational objectives and alerts
A holographic, bird’s-eye view of the ship's surroundings
This integration offers superior situational awareness, empowering crews to make informed decisions, especially in low-visibility conditions.
Impact
Raytheon has provided letters of support to FoVI3D, expressing interest in collaborating on SBIR projects to bring this vision to life.
