In previous projects, the idea of using XR to support ATC operations was explored. Recently, a live platform was tested in a real control tower. The implementation of the solution in the real world confirmed its applicability and usefulness, but it also revealed some challenges, such as data clutter. Ongoing refinement of the system, by exploiting AI for data selection, can address these issues.
