About Sky Ar Nermalava Firînê ya Rastiya Zêdekirî

Sky Ar nermalaveke firînê ya rastiya zêdekirî ye ku ji bo pîlotên balafirên kevneşop hatiye pêşxistin. Sky Ar bi rêya berçavkên rastiya zêdekirî daneyên firînê yên bingehîn dixe nav qada dîtinê ya pîlot û bi vî awayî dema ku pîlot serê xwe ber bi jêr ve dide kêm dike. Sepaneke tabletê ya alîkar berî derketinê piştgiriyê dide plansaziya firînê, hevdemkirina daneyan û mîhengkirinê. Nîşandanên li ser dîmenê li gorî qonaxa firînê têne guncandin, ji ber vê yekê tenê agahiyên têkildar ên erdnîgarî, hewayê an jî hişyariyan têne nîşandan. Sîstem amûrên kesane bi kar tîne, ji ber vê yekê tu guhertineke fizîkî ya kokpîtê pêwîst nake.

Unique Properties: Sky Ar is an augmented reality flight software that enhances pilot situational awareness. Using a Bring Your Own Device (Byod) approach, it provides a non invasive digital layer without physical cockpit retrofits, reducing cost and material waste. The system projects essential flight data into the line of sight of pilot and allows flight planning and Ar configuration through a companion tablet application.
Dimensions & Packaging: Sky Ar is a software platform integrating a tablet app with Ar glasses. The tablet enables flight planning, data sync, and analysis, while Ar overlays project real time information into the view of pilot. The system supports customizable layers by flight phase, lightweight Byod integration, secure data handling, and optimized low latency rendering for clarity in challenging visibility conditions.

Production Technology: Inspired by real habits of pilots, it transforms familiar workflows into Ar enhanced usability across multiple device types. On ground tablet control allows full setup before flight, enabling hands free use in the air for both gesture capable and incapable devices. Embracing the Byod principle minimizes material waste from retrofits while expanding accessibility. Sky Ar understands its users, offering a seamless, intelligent experience that makes advanced technology feel effortless.
Design Challenge: The hardest part of this design activity was finding solution to legacy aircraft improvement that can enhance awareness during flight while minimizing material waste. The challenge was not only technological, but systemic: redefining how advanced awareness tools can be delivered without physically altering the aircraft itself.
Research: The design research behind Sky Ar was applied and human-centered, aiming to improve pilot situational awareness cost-effectively. Through interviews, observations, surveys, and cockpit simulations with legacy aircraft pilots, we identified risks of low visibility and costly retrofits. Testing Ar devices showed that a Byod approach delivers safer, clearer experiences while extending the usability of legacy aircraft, making aviation more sustainable and efficient.
Inspiration: The idea behind Sky Ar was born from pilot insights. Many operators of legacy aircraft bring personal tablets into the cockpit at their own risk to improve situational awareness, often using multiple apps for weather, terrain, and navigation data. Pilots highlight challenges in low visibility conditions and the high cost of modern awareness systems, which lead to risky flights or material waste from retrofits.
Project Duration: Project Duration: 1 Year
Project Location: Turkiye
Operation Flow: Sky Ar ensures usability through an intuitive tablet workflow and hands free Ar operation, helping pilots stay focused on flight. The interface structures planning, data sync and analysis into clear stages to reduce cognitive load. Ar overlays are customized by flight phase, showing only relevant data such as terrain, Notam or weather. This reduces head down time and supports continuous visual focus on the external environment.
