Satellite augmented reality

[Nistorescu Sorin]

Is it possible to implement such augmented reality for existing satellites, in JMT? Nice to see GPS GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, and SBAS from the current location through the camera’s viewfinder.

The satellite placements are calculated based on publicly available orbital information from the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD).

O cool Pics!

You are very kind, Nate.

I have the SkyView app on my phone for star gazing.
How about a similar app for my phone showing the general location of the GNSS satellites from where I am standing
on my camera view.
Would really help me to know how long I might be at a certain point in the woods and whether or not I am wasting my time.
(if I had cell coverage of course).
If it can be done for stars why not GNSS satellites?

The app was already done.

Perhaps we could watch "live" in JMT the behaviour of satellites signals, when the current position is in dense urban or forest canyons. The multipath buster screen as from LS and the augmented reality could be very intuitive.

Note that, an automatic satellite selection can be done using a omnidirectional IR camera.

Now that is one cool app! Thanks for the link!

Indeed cool app! It is also our opinion.
