This paper describes Applied Research Associates' (ARA) recent advances in Soldier augmented reality (AR) technology. Our AR technology, called ARC4, delivers heads-up situational awareness to the dismounted warfighter, enabling non-line-of-sight team coordination distributed operations. ARC4 combines compact head tracking sensors with advanced pose estimation algorithms, network management software, and an intuitive visualization interface overlay tactical iconic information accurately on...
This paper describes performance evaluation of a wearable augmented reality system for natural outdoor environments. Applied Research Associates (ARA), as prime integrator on the DARPA ULTRA-Vis (Urban Leader Tactical, Response, Awareness, and Visualization) program, is developing soldier-worn to provide intuitive ‘heads-up’ visualization tactically-relevant geo-registered icons. Our combines novel pose estimation capability, helmet-mounted see-through display, processing unit accurately...
Applied Research Associates and BAE Systems are working together to develop a wearable augmented reality system under the DARPA ULTRA-Vis program<sup>†</sup>. Our approach achieve objectives of ULTRAVis, called iLeader, incorporates full color 40° field view (FOV) see-thru holographic waveguide integrated with sensors for position head tracking provide an unobtrusive information operational maneuvers. iLeader will enable warfighters mark-up 3D battle-space symbologic...

The mid-to-late 2010s saw a renewed interest in virtual reality technologies with the release of wide selection consumer VR headsets and glasses, increased power smartphones to provide augmented experiences. While research on sound music these has started gather pace, practice continue grapple significant creative practical questions. In addition, such discussions have tended be limited within disciplinary or professional silos. roundtable presented here was an effort begin conversations...
In 1914 the German music critic and theorist Oscar Schmitz penned his well-known diatribe Das Land ohne Musik (Munich, 1914), cementing England’s position as a culturally benighted marginal land. For all its apparent long-lasting effect, Schmitz’s criticism was largely political in nature; nationalism stood at heart. One hundred years later then MP for Henley, Boris Johnson, felt need to address critique national newspaper for, presumably, equally nationalistic reasons (The Daily Telegraph,...
Given its dedication to exploring the old, it is a curious fact—and one that might surprise scholars from outside of discipline—that early music often leads way with new approaches research and discussion. The Medieval Renaissance Music Conference, for instance, now in 46th year, credited as earliest discipline-specific academic conference. It should come no surprise, therefore, has also played leading role relatively world online specialist interest. purpose this brief survey (the first...
