DroneSense Remote Update

Updates and New Features

NEW: Augmented Reality

This release introduces Augmented Reality (AR) within the Remote Operator window, enabling dynamic, location-based overlays directly within the live video feed. AR includes configurable display options and adaptive visibility controls that respond to gimbal angle and zoom level, ensuring accurate, context-aware visualization during flight operations.

AR Controls & Indicators

• Added a new button in the Remote Operator (RO) window to open AR settings.
  

• When AR is enabled, the button will indicate if AR cannot be displayed.
  

  • AR may not display if:

    • Gimbal tilt is less than 10 percent.

    • Zoom level is greater than 5x.

New AR Settings Panel

• AR settings are displayed next to the RO window.

• Users can:

  • Enable or disable AR

  • Choose which elements to display:

    • Street Names

    • House Numbers

    • Building Labels

    • Drone Home Marker

    • Drone Target Marker

  • Adjust AR behavior based on:

    • Location

    • Altitude

    • Zoom level

  • Modify street label opacity

Log and CFS Enhancements

New Edit Log Prompt

• Allows users to quickly configure whether logs can be edited:

  • Every time

  • From the CFS menu

New Edit CFS / Case ID Menu

• Enables updates to multiple CFS-related options.

• Accessible from:

  • Edit Log prompt

  • Individual CFS entries in the CFS/Case Log menu
    

Additional Updates

• Added an address field for the Pilot in the Flight window (CFS/Case section).
  

Site Validation Improvements

When configuring a site, new validations and warning messages may appear. Keep these in mind when creating or editing sites.

• Max Flight Altitude must be at least 60 ft above Min Flight Altitude.

• Min Flight Altitude must be at least 60 ft below Max Flight Altitude.

• Default Flight Altitude must be at least 25 ft above Building Height.

• Note:  If a dock is used on this site, the default height must be at least 20 m (66 ft) greater than the building height.

• RTH Altitude must be less than Max Flight Altitude.

Advisory Warning Radius

A radius is now displayed on the map to indicate advisory warning boundaries.

Alerts are sorted by the three closest alerts.

Network Testing Tool (Docks)

• Added UI improvements, including:

  • Two graphs displaying:

    • Latency

    • Inbound/Outbound traffic

  • Displays location and network information.

Remote Maintenance Updates

• Added new icons to the Remote Maintenance menu.

• Renamed “Format Data” to “Erase Dock Data.”

• Offline docks can now be reset from the Remote Drones list.

• After canceling the restart dialog, the Restart button remains accessible.

Flight & Map Updates

• Manual Terrain Following is now available in both HAT and AGL modes.

  • Terrain Following still respects the default HAT flight height.

• Users can now switch the altimeter between HAT and AGL mid-flight.

• Users can no longer edit launch sites while in flight.
  

• ADS-B layers now remain the top-most map layer.

Recording & Media Improvements

• Updated messaging when DJI fails to start recording to clarify that Media Manager continues recording.
  

• The system now waits for the drone to power on before recording or taking photos.

• Media MTX no longer attempts to reconnect after the RO ends a flight.

API & System Updates

• SafeSky now uses custom API keys when available; otherwise defaults to the DroneSense API key.

• Improved refresh token handling.

• Updated public dashboard URL to the correct version.

• Added cache-control headers so users can see deployed updates without clearing cache.

• Improved overall user messaging styling.

Fixes & Improvements

• Fixed issue preventing the RTH button from appearing mid-flight.

• Removed extraneous WASM compile errors from the console.

• Corrected weather model units, translations, and spacing.

• Fixed Remote Operator IDs not consistently displaying in flight logs.

• Simulated dock flights no longer generate flight logs or CFS entries.
