Mixed reality: enhancing defence applications

Oct 13, 2023

A workshop poised to become a focal point for discussions on the latest advancements in augmented, virtual, and mixed reality (XR) technologies, with a specific focus on their applications in the defense sector.

Andrea Masini, CEO of FlySight will be Chair of the workshop hosted by the European Defence Agency (EDA). This event, titled “AUGMENTED/VIRTUAL/MIXED REALITY FOR DEFENCE APPLICATIONS,” is set to take place in Paris on Tuesday, October 17, 2023.

Masini has made contributions to the workshop’s organization with the co-chair Michel Honlet, expressing his appreciation for the opportunity, he stated, “I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Fabrizio Berizzi and the dedicated members of Captech EOST for their tireless efforts in making this workshop on XR a reality. Collaborating with Michel Honlet on the organization of this event has been a privilege, and I am eagerly looking forward to the knowledge-sharing and innovation that will unfold. I also extend my appreciation to all the enthusiastic participants who will join us in Paris“.

The workshop is expected to bring together thought leaders, experts, and professionals from the defense industry, technology sector, and academia. All the attendees will engage in discussions and explore new horizons in XR technologies’ applications in defense. The initial focus will be on “SECTION 1: PRESENTATIONS FOR UNDERSTANDING THE VALUE OF XR”.

This event promises to be a platform for generating insights and innovation that could shape the future of defense applications using XR technologies.

FlySight is proud to announce the official release of MAP CREATOR, a cutting-edge software tool developed to radically simplify and accelerate the preparation of map datasets for real-time 3D visualization.

Designed as a core component of the OPENSIGHT platform, MAP CREATOR allows users to transform raster, elevation, and vector data into optimized MBTILES — a standard format for tiled offline maps — with just a few clicks.

MAP CREATOR boasts a modern, intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI) that eliminates the need for command-line skills or programming knowledge. Users can upload individual files or entire folders, preview content, apply smart styling rules, and generate ready-to-use map packages in record time. The tool supports a wide variety of geospatial formats, including TIFF, JPG, PNG, ECW, DTED (DT0, DT1, DT2), and shapefiles (.shp), ensuring flexibility across both commercial and defense applications.

What truly sets MAP CREATOR apart is its deep integration with OPENSIGHT Mission Console, making it not just a pre-processing tool but a strategic asset for mission planning and real-time operations.

Avionic Operators can now generate, preview, and load custom maps directly into the console environment — enhancing situational awareness and reducing reliance on external processing tools.

Among its standout features are:

⚙️ Smart vector styling with attribute-driven rules

⚙️ Support for terrain-aware vector rendering using elevation sources

⚙️ 3D extrusion and label rendering for intuitive map outputs

⚙️ High-performance raster and elevation tiling with multiprocessing support

⚙️ Advanced MBTILES merging to build seamless base layers and overlays

“MAP CREATOR represents a major step forward in geospatial usability,” said Mattia Carpin, Head of Engineering at FlySight. “It combines the technical power of our SDK with the simplicity and visual control today’s users expect.”

MAP CREATOR is now available as part of the latest OPENSIGHT SDK and with OPENSIGHT Mission Console. For demos, licensing, or partnership inquiries, contact FlySight’s commercial team.

FlySight team constantly develops cutting-edge solutions to provide real-time support in defence and security operations decision making.
