A military commander must have an understanding of the current environment in order to effectively lead and command a platoon through an area of operations. This includes, but is not limited to, knowledge of the physical terrain, structures, and the location and strength of friendly and enemy forces. Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) is interested in novel methods of displaying this information to commanders. Of particular interest is assisting with wayfinding and situation awareness in contested urban environments. Uncharted Software, a Toronto based company specializing in the development of novel visualization software, has developed (and patented) Mirror in the Sky (MIS), a head up display for wayfinding tasks in unfamiliar environments, that is anticipated to be suitable for DRDC's needs. To evaluate that fit, the University of Toronto will produce novel research findings on how users perceive, understand and use the contents of MIS representations. These findings will benefit Uncharted Software and DRDC as future prospective vendor and receiver, respectively, of the technology. Moreover, MIS technology has the potential to significantly impact wayfinding for civilians, such as drivers and pedestrians, opening up further markets for the industry partner.

军事指挥官必须了解当前环境，才能有效地领导和指挥排通过作战区域。这包括但不限于对物理地形、结构以及友军和敌军的位置和力量的了解。加拿大国防研究与发展部 (DRDC) 对向指挥官显示这些信息的新方法感兴趣。特别令人感兴趣的是在有争议的城市环境中协助寻路和态势感知。 Uncharted Software 是一家总部位于多伦多的公司，专门开发新颖的可视化软件，该公司开发了 Mirror in the Sky (MIS)（并获得专利），这是一种用于在陌生环境中执行寻路任务的平视显示器，预计将适合 DRDC 的需求。为了评估这种契合度，多伦多大学将针对用户如何感知、理解和使用 MIS 表示的内容提出新颖的研究结果。这些发现将使 Uncharted Software 和 DRDC 分别作为该技术未来的潜在供应商和接收者受益。此外，MIS 技术有可能对驾驶员和行人等平民的寻路产生重大影响，为行业合作伙伴开辟更多市场。
