ANTARLOR

ANTARLOR is a portable Amplified Vision telescope that enables real time, through-the-eyepiece light intensification.

ANTARLOR is a portable Amplified Vision telescope that enables real time, through-the-eyepiece light intensification. When Amplified Vision is on, the image sensor starts to accumulate the light you see in the telescope. On-board electronics sums the signal and projects the resulting image it into the eyepiece. This image is progressively enhanced while the signal is accumulating. To take full advantage of having an on-board computer in their telescope, they decided to implement Augmented Reality. When activating this feature, you will be able to see information (distance, type, story) about the objects you are seeing directly in the eyepiece of your telescope. You can also activate the contextual guiding option, which will enable the apparition of visual cues to guide you towards an object of your choice. It is the actual sky you are watching through their telescope. While either Amplified Vision or Augmented reality are on, their system constantly compares what you are watching to worldwide databases, enabling detection of unknown objects and rare events. Record them and send an alert to nearby observers, or send your data to a partner institution for analysis. You can also enable observation request alerts from partner institutions. You will then receive upcoming event alerts and be able to choose wether you participate to the data collection campaign. The telescope guides you in the data collection process and data is easily sent. Results are then sent back to you after interpretation from the partner institution.
