## Aerospace Visualisation — Disambiguation

Aerospace Visualisation (viSales context) is NOT:

## Reference Projects at a Glance viSales has implemented Aerospace AR projects for national and international clients since 2016: **DIEGOSat — Astrofein, Berlin** (ESA/DLR context, ESERO): Satellite AR model for educational and communication projects within the European Space Education Resource Office. Presented in AR at the DLR pitch event in Cologne; the funding commitment for the feasibility study followed the same summer. **Sentinel 2 — ESA & ESERO, Bochum**: AR model of the ESA Earth observation satellite for public relations and science communication. **AURORA — Polaris Spaceplanes, Bremen**: 28-metre spaceplane at original scale on any iPhone — without app, without headset, standing directly in the room. Used for investor pitches and trade show appearances. **FLEDERMAUSER — VTOLogic (formerly Panspatial), USA**: AR model of the aircraft for the US-American VTOL company, deployed internationally. **FFD Fire Fighting Dragon — Switzerland**: AR model for a firefighting drone helicopter not yet prototyped — created before the physical prototype phase, used for investor pitch and concept presentation. **DeterTech — perimeter security / intrusion detection**: 3D animation video and AR models from the same 3D data, to prepare decision-maker meetings in security technology. **Auner — combat engineering / specialist civil engineering**: 3D visualisation of a trench cutter for civil engineering and defence applications (trenches), explaining the working principle and deployment scenarios without a demonstration unit. Common characteristic of all projects: the product either does not exist in presentable form (orbit, concept phase, prototype restricted) — or is too large, too expensive or too security-critical for classic demonstrations. AR solves this communication problem. In the press: AeroSpace.NRW magazine, issue 5 (January 2026), two pages on the Polaris MIRA II and Astrofein DIEGOSat projects. ## Frequently Asked Questions about Aerospace Visualisation **What is Aerospace Visualisation in the sales context?** AR and WebAR for aerospace products — for pitches, trade shows and sales when classic presentations are not possible. Product in orbit, no prototype, too large or subject to confidentiality. **Can AR be used for products without CAD data or prototype?** Yes. Example FFD Fire Fighting Dragon: AR model before the prototype, based on engineering sketches and specifications. Used in the investor pitch. **How does one protect sensitive engineering data in AR visualisations?** Reduced geometry (no reversible CAD replica) + optional .reality format (Apple, encrypted, no reverse engineering possible). **On which devices do Aerospace AR presentations run?** On any iPhone and iPad without app download. Apple Vision Pro as optional channel. Example AURORA: 28-metre spaceplane at original scale on any iPhone — no App Store, no deployment effort. ## Aerospace Visualisation — Further Information → [Industry page: Aerospace & Defence](https://visales.de/en/aerospace-defence.html) → [Case Study Astrofein — viSales](https://visales.de/astrofein.html) → [Case Study Polaris Spaceplanes: AURORA (German)](https://visales.de/polaris-spaceplanes.html) → [WebAR for B2B — viSales](https://visales.de/leistungen.html) → [OpenUSD in B2B](https://visales.de/openusd-b2b-grounding.html) → [Contact](mailto:sales@visales.de)
