Selected to participate in NPS JIFX 19-2, Edgybees demonstrated and experimented with using Augmented Reality GIS layers for Humanitarian, Disaster Relief, and Wildfire Fighting operations.

First responders will be able to use drones equipped with augmented reality technology to better deal with emergency situations.

Augmented reality is a technology more commonly associated with Pokemon Go and Snapchat filters, but Edgybees has found numerous real-life use cases for the technology – including search and rescue operations, military missions and broadcast. CEO Adam Kaplan explains how it works to Dan Robinson.

A record-breaking delegation of Israeli innovators are joining more than 180,000 hi-tech professionals and 4,400 companies in Las Vegas on Tuesday as the four-day Consumer Electronics Show – the world’s largest technology gathering – gets under way.

In the fight against Northern California’s Camp Fire, a California startup called Edgybees uses augmented reality (AR) overlay of drone footage with 3D mapping technology to give first responders real-time footage of their surroundings.

A development by a US-based Israeli company was successfully applied by first responder teams during the recent Hurricane Michael events in Florida. The platform combines 3D mapping, data, and live video from UAVs and other aerial platforms.

The drone and augmented reality startup Edgybees for critical situational awareness during rescue missions has developed a real-time platform that relays vital information over video captured by drones to help lead rescue efforts in natural disasters and public safety incidents.

I droni commerciali sono ormai ampiamente impiegati in una di serie settori. Dalla fotografia e dalla consegna dei prodotti alla modellistica e all’agricoltura. Un mercato che ha un enorme potenziale ed è cresciuto esponenzialmente negli ultimi anni.

Initially developed and used mainly for military combat, unmanned aircraft and drones have become widely adopted in a variety of industries. From photography and product delivery to modelling and agriculture, the commercial drone market holds tremendous potential and has grown exponentially in recent years . According to a PwC study, as of this year the global non-military drone market is valued at $127 billion.

As a top developer of drone technology, and a leading global exporter of military drones, Israel has leveraged its know-how to develop a significant commercial drone market, with some startups in the industry generating international headlines for their innovative tech solutions.

The California-based Edgybees, which developed a real-time platform that relays vital information over video captured by drones to help lead rescue efforts in natural disasters and public safety incidents, says it communicated closely with affected clients in the lead-up to the hurricane to make sure its solutions could be deployed speedily after the storm hit the Florida Panhandle earlier this month.

Can a drone gaming company deliver commercial solutions? If you ask today’s guest, he would surely say, “Yes it can.” Menashe Haskin is Co-Founder and CTO of EdgyBees, an augmented reality company that fuses pioneering 3D video generation, computer vision and multi-sensor data analysis to solve real-world problems.

Edgybees’ CEO Adam Kaplan speaks at i24 about Israeli technology being used to save lives in the hurricane Michael aftermath.

Talk about why we need to focus more on the data drones are gathering rather than the drones themselves is becoming pervasive, and all it is being driven by the need to see this technology create answers for a given issue or workflow. Drones can gather vast and detailed amounts of information, but that information needs to be able to influence how decisions are made in the short and long term. It’s a process that has been challenging for many, and is one of the reasons that the Augmented Real-time Intelligence™ solution from Edgybees caught our attention.

We are not far from the day when drones flying above us is commonplace; drone professionals must keep butting their heads together and finding creative ways to propel drone technology to new heights.

We developed the world’s first dedicated AR technology for high speed moving platforms, providing highly contextual visual presence of non-tangible intelligence

As the national drone industry continues to take off, unmanned aerial vehicle experts say it’s likely drones will be used by almost every law enforcement agency across the country within the next few years.

Key Points

• Edgybees is offering its augmented reality and 3D mapping solution to militaries
• The solution can help armed forces quickly highlight critical infrastructure

As wildfires sweep California amid what’s been an uncharacteristically early and hot summer, some fire departments have turned to Augmented Reality to keep personnel in the field informed. It’s a trial by fire (if you’ll excuse a bad pun) for AR, a technology that’s finally beginning to emerge as more than a novelty.

As large swathes of California continue to be consumed by wildfires, some fire departments have turned to Augmented Reality to keep personnel in the field informed with real-time updates and information.

Situational awareness is key. Getting as much information about a situation as possible is vital for assessing the right way to approach a dangerous area or event. Having a stream of data to help inform the user can make or break any situation.

Edgybees was founded to make software for drone hobbyists, but its augmented reality programs adapted well for emergency responders.

Together with Edgybees, a company in which Motorola recently invested in, Motorola Solutions will demonstrate at CCW in Berlin the ways in which augmented reality integrated with live drone footage can provide an immersive experience for control room and incident managers.

Edgybees, whose technology enables augmented reality on high speed platforms such as drones and cars, today announced that it has won the Techsauce Israel Innovation Challenge. The event, organized by Upround Ventures and Singtel Innov8, with participation by GE Ventures, startup advisor, Hillel Fuld and media partner, Silicon Dragon Ventures, identified the startups most relevant for SE Asian markets. Edgybees will represent Israel at the Techsauce Global Summit, a tech event focused on uniting East and West, in Bangkok, June 22-23, 2018. The event will showcase startups from 19 cities across Asia Pacific with Israel as the 20^th country selected. Participants include SE Asia’s leading enterprises ranging from banking, telco, retail, manufacturing, utilities and property, along with strategic investors and tech enthusiasts.

EdgyBees’ technology was used post-Hurricane Irma and California’s Wine Country wildfires to save lives. Menashe Haskin, the company’s CTO, explains Edgybees is utilizing AR software and drone tech to assist rescue workers on the ground. C-Suite TV host Natalie Erlich reports from Israel.

XPONENTIAL 2018–DENVER. Augmented-reality (AR) platform developer Edgybees — based in Beit Herut, Israel — is showcasing its new life-saving drone technology at the AUVSI Xponential show in Denver this week.
