Our Products
A majority of our projects are part of the OpenHUD ecosystem. Initially designed as a feasability study based on the F-35 Gen III Helmet Mounted Display System (HMDS) the OpenHUD ecosystem has expanded to include consumer applications and vehicle designs.
While the F35 HMDS costs around $400,000 per unit, a prototype/feasability design for your project using OpenHUD could cost as little as a few hundred dollars.
OpenHUD
OpenHUD is an AR display which overlays a live camera stream with additional data about what is in view based on pretrained computer vision models. The widgets and information displayed change depending on the context in which the OpenHUD is used. At this point, there are 3 primary contexts.
OpenHUD.life displays an app drawer/launcher on the left of the view, while the results pane on the right shows what objects have been detected, sentiment analysis, threat estimation, or the reviews for the restaurant you just found.
OpenHUD.flight displays flight critical information such as altimiter, airspeed, yaw/pitch/roll; either as dials or as numerical indicators. CV capabilty is also integrated to highlight objects, targets and hazards.
OpenHUD.drive similar to OpenHUD.flight, this overlay provides critical information, and highlights objects/hazards. OpenHUD.drive also includes 360deg camera feed integration, and can be used via headset or static display (see OpenHUDware.car).
OpenHUDware
OpenHUDware.goggles - The key component of OpenHUDware is an AR headset which has been optimised for the OpenHUD platform.
OpenHUDware.drone is our CV enabled autonomous drone. The drone can be paired to the headset for piloted missions. Drones with a flight time of around half an hour can be built for around $500 depending on requirements. Short range air-to-air and air-to ground capabilites could be discussed.
OpenHUDware.car is what happens when you say - "why not". This project was a conceptual design of an electric vehicle with 360deg camera vision which could be piloted using the OpenHUD.goggles to mimic the capability of the F35 HMDS. Alternatively, the traditional windscreen of the vehicle can be replaced with an LCD display, with sections of the display dedicated to the side and rear cameras.
A 'testing' vehicle with 100kW of wheel torque and a 150aH battery system (around 100km) could be acheived for under $20,000.
