Longan Vision has used augmented reality technology to improve visibility for firecrews and first responders.

A Canadian company has introduced technology that it says will improve visibility for firefighters to deal with dangerous incidents where visibility can be near-zero. At the recent Aero Asia show in China, Longan Vision demonstrated its Fusion Vision System (FVS), which provides a hands-free augmented reality (AR) thermal solution for critical airport rescue operations, including aircraft cabin and cargo fires, runway fuel spills, and post-crash search and rescue.

“The FVS is purpose-built for extreme rescue environments, unlike consumer AR or standalone thermal cameras,” Longan Vision CEO Enzo Jia told AIN. “It combines certified thermal imaging, ruggedized hardware, and real-time command connectivity into one hands-free wearable system.”
