About OGN AR Viewer

OGN AR Viewer is an experimental augmented-reality client for viewing nearby aircraft beacons from the Open Glider Network. It can show aircraft around the user and maintain a private directory of aircraft associated with a club or friends, including their distance. To receive nearby beacon information, the app sends the user’s location to the network. The supplied description says the location is reduced in accuracy to about five kilometers before transmission and restored on the recipient, and that the app connects without an identifying client ID. It also notes that the connection is unencrypted, so the transmitted location data can be observed in transit. The app is described as free and ad-free. Its main use is situational awareness of aircraft in the vicinity through an augmented-reality display. Because it is experimental and sends approximate location over an unencrypted connection, the described privacy safeguards should be understood with those limitations in mind.
