4. Motivation
• From the beginning, our goal was to come up with a solution to
aid firefighters, mainly by tackling the low visibility conditions
of a building filled with smoke and flame.
• Our interest in creating a device in this field idea spawned from
the hazy summer of 2015 where there were many forest fires
across B.C. Along with solving issues related to firefighting, an
important factor was to create something which was unique
and had not been done before.

5. What is TrueSight?
• Real time laser mapping visual aid
• Displays outlines of objects into the user’s field of view
• Enhances the user’s vision in low visibility environments (i.e. Smoke
filled rooms, night/darkness, and fog)

6. TrueSight – Applications
• Firefighters can use to see people and objects through smoke
• Other possible application include, police force, military, and outdoor
recreation

13. End user feedback
• Primary end users: Fire Fighters (Attack Team, Rapid Response Team).
• Overall positive response from the fire fighters at Fire Hall 3, New
Westminster.
• See great potential in Command, Control, Communications and
Intelligence (C3I) market.
• Majority of their existing equipment are handheld; the TrueSight
solution allows one less piece of equipment they need to carry.
• They are appreciative of the SFU ENSC students creating innovative
solution to improve their work process.

14. Future Implementations
1.Real Time Communication and Information Sharing with HQ
2.Optimization : Decrease Bulk, Miniaturize, Increase Energy
Efficiency
3.Improved sensor I.e. thermal camera or short wave infrared camera
4.Real Time Data Storage
