HOLOCHIP CORPORATION SBIR Phase I Award, July 2022

The Navy seeks to reduce personnel requirements associated with operating systems of ever-increasing technological complexity.  This may be accomplished by enhancing the capabilities and effectiveness of a single bridge watch stander by providing them with a display system which provides an intuitive real-time, temporally accurate 3D visualization of ship control systems' data and platform health. Such a system may reduce cognitive burden, reduce response time, increase task accuracy, and increase overall situational awareness of a bridge watch stander in high-stress environments. To address this need Holochip will develop the Automated Decision Aide (ADA) which will collect data from all shipboard subsystems, analyze it using artificial intelligence and determine which data is most critical to the user to enable accurate and timely decisions. The data will be displayed to the user on a glasses-free 3D display, enabled by Holochip’s existing Agnostic Display Environment (ADE), an SDK which provides compatibility with any display type including AR/VR headsets and light field displays.
