FleetScape: A Mixed Reality Sandtable for Spatial Supervision and Control of Scalable Drone Fleets
UIST '26 · 2026
FleetScape, a Mixed Reality sandtable that reframes drone fleet supervision as spatial interaction, with layered 3D visualizations of real-time mission, safety, and environmental data, and fluid control transitions between autonomous supervision and manual intervention. A study with six experienced pilots managing fleets of 5–15 drones shows that FleetScape supports situational awareness at scale and reveals supervisory strategies that adapt as fleet size grows.
