User interfaces for mutually exclusive three dimensional flying spaces
Boundary information associated with a three-dimensional (3D) flying space is obtained, including a boundary of the 3D flying space. Location information associated with an aircraft is obtained, including a location of the aircraft. Information is presented based at least in part on the boundary information associated with the 3D flying space and the location information associated with the aircraft, including by presenting, in a display, the boundary of the 3D flying space and an avatar representing the aircraft at the location of the aircraft.
1. A system, comprising:
a communications interface that obtains boundary information associated with a three-dimensional (3D) flying space, including a boundary of the 3D flying space, wherein the 3D flying space is defined by a center path and a cross section about the path;
a processor that:
determines a distance between the boundary of the 3D flying space and a location of an aircraft; and
compares the distance between the boundary of the 3D flying space and the location of the aircraft against a threshold; and
a user interface that presents at least one of visual, audio, and haptic feedback about a relative distance between the boundary of the 3D flying space and the location of the aircraft based at least in part on the comparison.
2. The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the 3D flying space has one or more of the is following cross sections: a circular cross section, an elliptical cross section, or a rectangular cross section.
3. The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the user interface includes one or more of the following: a virtual reality headset, a touchscreen display, or a display integrated into the aircraft.
4. The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the user interface presents a speed limit associated with the 3D flying space.
5. The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the user interface presents a permitted direction of flight associated with the 3D flying space.
6. The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the user interface announces, via a speaker, the distance between the boundary of the 3D flying space and the location of the aircraft.
7. The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the user interface, in response to the distance between the boundary of the 3D flying space and the location of the aircraft not exceeding the threshold, suggests, via a speaker, a correction direction which would cause the distance between the boundary of the 3D flying space and the location of the aircraft to increase.
8. The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the user interface, in response to the distance between the boundary of the 3D flying space and the location of the aircraft not exceeding the threshold, increases an amount of force feedback output by a force feedback input device.
9. A method, comprising:
obtaining boundary information associated with a three-dimensional (3D) flying space, including a boundary of the 3D flying space, wherein the 3D flying space is defined by a center path and a cross section about the path;
determining a distance between the boundary of the 3D flying space and a location of an aircraft;
comparing the distance between the boundary of the 3D flying space and the location of the aircraft against a threshold; and
presenting, in a user interface, at least one of visual, audio, and haptic feedback about a relative distance between the boundary of the 3D flying space and the location of the aircraft based at least in part on the comparison.
10. The method recited in claim 9 , wherein the 3D flying space has one or more of the following cross sections: a circular cross section, an elliptical cross section, or a rectangular cross section.
11. The method recited in claim 9 , wherein the user interface includes one or more of the following: a virtual reality headset, a touchscreen display, or a display integrated into the aircraft.
12. The method recited in claim 9 , further comprising presenting, in the user interface, a speed limit associated with the 3D flying space.
13. The method recited in claim 9 , further comprising presenting, in the user interface, a permitted direction of flight associated with the 3D flying space.
14. The method recited in claim 9 , further comprising announcing, via a speaker, the distance between the boundary of the 3D flying space and the location of the aircraft.
15. The method recited in claim 9 , further comprising suggesting, via a speaker, a correction direction which would cause the distance between the boundary of the 3D flying space and the location of the aircraft to increase in response to the distance between the boundary of the 3D flying space and the location of the aircraft not exceeding the threshold.
16. The method recited in claim 9 , further comprising increasing an amount of force feedback output by a force feedback input device in response to the distance between the boundary of the 3D flying space and the location of the aircraft not exceeding the threshold.
17. A computer program product, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
obtaining boundary information associated with a three-dimensional (3D) flying space, including a boundary of the 3D flying space, wherein the 3D flying space is defined by a center path and a cross section about the path;
