An AR system both identifies and visually tracks parts for a user by maintaining spatial awareness of the user's pose and provides instructions to the user for the use of those parts. Tracking the identified parts, both inside and outside the current Field of View (FOV), and any missing parts for use with the current instruction improves the effectiveness and efficiency of both novice and experienced user alike.

Augmented reality (AR) system and method for tracking parts and visually cueing a user to identify and locate parts in a scene

A laser communication and spatial referencing system and related methods provides effective and secure non-line-of-sight communications. A laser communication and spatial referencing system includes a laser transmitter transmitting a pulsed laser beam encoded with binary communications data, and an imaging data receiver for receiving the pulsed laser beam reflecting off a reflective target. The imaging receiver decodes the binary communications data and determines the position of the laser beam. The laser communication and spatial referencing system may operate synchronously and/or asynchronously, and may include a display displaying a video image of area surrounding the target with the reflecting location superimposed on the image to provide visual identification of the target.

An optical tracking system comprises an array of point source emitters that output respective optical emissions, and a plurality of angle of arrival sensors. Each sensor comprises one or more optical elements and a focal plane array (FPA), with the optical elements arranged to resolve the optical emissions into one or more linear patterns on the FPA. A processing system in communication with the sensors establishes the orientation and position of each of the optical emitters using the linear patterns. A headgear tracking system employs point source emitters on a piece of headgear, with front and rear arrays of angle of arrival sensors located in an aircraft cockpit; a processing system in communication with the sensor arrays establishes an orientation and position for each of the optical emitters on the headgear.

Object tracking system having at least one angle-of-arrival sensor which detects at least one linear pattern on a focal plane array
