Holos is a spatial computing platform that gives anyone the ability to create, organize, and learn in full 3D. Put on an AR or VR headset and use your hands (no controllers!) and voice to create, organize, and discover photos, videos, music, 3D objects and more. Holos is making it as easy as possible for Air Force personnel to create and share their own immersive learning experiences so that they ...

The objective of this proposal is to create an ATAK plugin leveraging SmartCam3D®, an augmented reality software providing geographically-relevant overlays on live video, to enhance situational awareness and create a collaborative, augmented reality, common operating picture among mission participants viewing real-time, airborne video. The utilization of a SmartCam3D® ATAK plugin provides th ...

In response to the solicitation AF191-108, CompuTherm proposes a pilot project to develop a software platform, named PanBlock, for the simulation of microstructure evolution of metallic materials. The key features of this platform include (1) open architecture which allows convenient coupling with different FEM (finite element method) software packages for processing inputs, such as temperature, s ...

Rotating Detonation Rocket Engines (RDRE)are being developed to take advantage of the near instantaneous heat release potential of detonation waves versus conventional deflagration-based chemical reactions in combustion applications. However, the detonation product environment is extreme and current instrumentation to measure wall / surface conditions within the detonation chamber are lacking. The ...

An integrated measurement sensor for carbon-carbon (C-C) structures is needed for testing in arc-jet facilities to meet testing needs for future hypersonic flight systems. This work continues development on a measurement suite capable of surviving the long duration glide phase characteristic of hypersonic vehicles. A fast-response pressure sensor, an instrumented temperature measurement plug, and ...

Holos is an AR/VR education and training platform. Holos uses a natural hand, eye, and voice-based input system to enable anyone to create immersive learning experiences with grab-and-drop simplicity, allowing them to combine traditional 2D content (pictures, videos, audio, text) with 3D models and animations together in a cohesive arrangement in 3D space. Holos is making it easy for teachers, stu ...

Extensive research (Ukraine) has shown that high strength continuous fibers of basalt can be produced. These fibers are inexpensive and have exceptionally high strength, stiffness and corrosion resistance. Basalt is a naturally occurring volcanic mineral, consisting a variety concentration of oxides. The product envisioned is a low-cost, corrosion resistant replacement for steel bar in reinforc ...

The proposed project will evaluate a variety of power electronic topologies of the interface between a micro SMES system and the dc side of commercially available ac inverters, in-line UPS systems, and variable speed drives. This assessment will be applicable to micro SMES systems with an energy storage of up to 10 MJ and power rating of up to about 5 MW. The range of 500 to 5,000 Vdc will be us ...
