ZHUHAI, CHINA — China’s biggest aviation manufacturer, Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), is developing a holographic ground control system (GCS) for UAVs.

Unveiled at Airshow China here, the “nerve center” or GCS displays the UAV as a holographic image. It allows the controller to command the aircraft, obtain flight parameters and information on navigation and guidance through a “human-machine interface.”

The controller experiences the entire process of the mission via this interface, including mission payload, route planning, flight control, identification of friend/foe, precision strikes and task assessment of the UAV operational environment.

Airshow China, known officially as the 10th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, is being held from Nov. 11-16.

I know China has started using holographic video and UAVs for traffic monitoring and control，but this holographic ground control centre for UAVs。。。

Takee 3D Holographic Phone from EStar America Wins 2015 CES Innovations Award

EStar America’s Takee 3D Holographic Smart Phone was named a 2015 CES Innovation Awards Honoree. The phone provides a 3D Holographic image visible to the naked eye that is both projected out of the screen and appears to go right through the device.

The EStar America Takee1 3D Holographic Phone


EStar America’s Takee 3D Holographic Smart Phone was named a 2015 CES Innovation Awards Honoree at today’s 2015 International CES Unveiled New York event. Products entered in this prestigious program are judged by a preeminent panel of independent industrial designers, independent engineers and members of the trade media to honor outstanding design and engineering in cutting edge consumer electronics products. The Takee 3D Holographic Smart Phone scored highly across all judging criteria. It joins a small percentage of products that are given this honor each year.

The Takee 3D Holographic Smartphone is the world's first mobile device to integrate Smart Holographic Technology. First, the forward facing camera tracks the viewer’s head and eyes. Next, the 3D phone’s spacious 5.5” high-definition screen sends separate images to each eye. The result is a 3D Holographic image visible to the naked eye that is both projected out of the screen and appears to go right through the device.

“The biggest difference between our 3D Holographic display technology and legacy naked-eye 3D displays is that holography won’t make you feel dizzy” said Meihong Liu, Chairman and General Manager of Estar Technology Group, “3D Holographic technology can adjust perspective to users’ changing position. It’s closer to the feeling of watching the real scene.”

The Takee 3D Holographic Smartphone supports naked-eye 3D holographic pictures, games, videos and applications. The Anti-Friction coating makes the screen durable and fingerprint resistant, while the matte finish on the back adds extra grip. Constructed of aircraft-quality aluminum and Corning 3rd Generation Gorilla Glass, the Takee 1 is durable yet refined.

The first Takee 3D Holographic Smartphone, the Takee1, is powered by the MediaTek True Octa-Core processor. It has 32GB of storage. AudioCauldron 3D Sound technology from Bit Cauldron Corporation provides 3D Sound to match the 3D video, enabling a new level of 3D immersion and a more believable sensory experience. It also supports dual SIM cards (one standard SIM card, one Micro SIM card) to allow calls to and from two phone numbers and calling plans at the same time.

“We are pleased to be able to offer this phone both as an unlocked no-contract phone and as a carrier-customized differentiated device” said Dalton Ferdinand, Vice President of EStar America.

EStar America will showcase the Takee 3D Holographic Smartphone at the 2015 International CES at Sands booth #70354, which runs Jan. 6-9, 2015, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Honorees will also be displayed at CES Unveiled New York, which features dozens of exhibitors and networking opportunities, and runs 4:30-7:30 PM November 11 at the Metropolitan Pavilion, New York.

So is it american company?

By 2050, manned aircraft for combat missions would be passe. Air warfare would be conducted by 'pilots' sitting comfortably in their holographic projection consoles remotely 'piloting' their aircraft and drones with full situational awareness.

That is the future of air warfare and it's arriving faster than one thought!

Which company do you have in mind？

CHINA SHOWS OFF HOLOGRAPHIC GROUND CONTROL SYSTEM FOR DRONES

DRONE SOLD SEPARATELY

By Jeffrey Lin and P.W. Singer Posted 18 hours ago

Holographic Ground Control Station The Holographic Ground Control Station (GCS) has a large holographic display in front of the pilot station, so that other personnel can oversee and observe the drone operations. The holographic display would make it easier for non drone personnel to understand drone operations. It also be valuable for training drone operators. Wendell Minnick, at Defense News

AVIC, China's top aerospace manufacturer, is finding unexpected but sci-fi inspired ways to push the drone technological envelope. The Holographic Ground Control System (GCS) displays a holographic image of the drone, making it easier for the controller to intitutively understand UAV operations, by fusing together flight parameters, payload monitoring, weapons release and sensor data. The pilot is seated at the cockpit, while other personnel can observe the UAV and its environment on the hologram.

Star Wars Tech In Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, the Separatists observe the ongoing battle on a table mounted hologram. The AVIC GCS goes on better, you can actually control the drones with the help of its hologram. starwars.wikia.com

Immersive human-machine interfaces have been a staple of science fiction ranging from Star Trek and Star Wars to Robocop. While virtual reality (VR) headsets allow for individual and networked immersive experiences for air flight, the GCS's advantage lies in providing a holographic picture that multiple mission personnel, along with the UAV pilot, can view. This enhancement of unit situational awareness would provide a better picture of UAV operations and capabilities to liasion personnel in a joint mission like amphibious or special force assaults.

Lijian UCAV The Lijian stealth drone makes in first flight in Guizhou, on November 2013. The Lijian is similar to other stealth drones like the X-47B and Neuron, including provisions for internal weapons carriage and a degree of autonomous operations. The Lijian could operate from future Chinese aircraft carriers. chinamilitaryreport.blogspot.com

AVIC's emphasis of combat UAV control missions for the GCS indicates that this system could be designed in mind not just for the WJ-1 Pterodactyl UCAV, but also for the Lijian stealth drone. Notably, the GCS's ability to enable multiple persons to share the UAV pilot's experience would be a valuable asset in conceptualizing and conducting UCAV operations for Chinese aircraft carriers.

Amazing development!

If people can make holographic 3D smartphones，they can also make holographic drone control systems。
