Spatial Accuracy on a Moving Target
The technical challenge in a sky-based AR overlay is positional accuracy across long distances and fast-moving targets. A plane at 35,000 feet moves quickly relative to a ground-based observer, and the AR label has to track it consistently rather than drifting or snapping. Lee built the positioning system using FlightRadar24's live data feed combined with the Vision Pro's sensor array to calculate the correct angular position of each aircraft relative to the headset in real time. The label rendering was designed to scale readably across the full range of aircraft distances and to handle crowded airspace over a hub city without the overlay becoming illegible.
