This funding supports projects developing an edge device that processes video and audio from commercial smart glasses to generate high-fidelity 3D maps. The work includes assessing data flows, ensuring legal compliance, and demonstrating proof of concept for urban environment mapping. Projects aim to advance technology readiness to TRL 4 within 12 weeks, focusing on defence applications and geospatial intelligence.
Applicants must use commercially available smart glasses and ensure all sensor data collection complies with legal standards such as GDPR. No redesign or physical modification of smart glasses is allowed.
