Hidden Level and About Objects Introduce "DroneOps" Real-Time 3D Airspace Awareness
Hidden Level today announced DroneOps, developed in partnership with About Objects, a spatial computing app for Apple Vision Pro that transforms live airspace data into an intuitive, immersive 3D experience. The solution is designed to give security teams, first responders, and event organizers enhanced situational awareness of drone and aircraft activity in real time.
Built for Apple Vision Pro
DroneOps leverages visionOS to present Hidden Level's real-time airspace data in an interactive spatial interface that allows operators to visualize activity naturally in three dimensions, identifying potential hazards, tracking flight paths, and coordinating rapid responses.
"This spatial experience brings our airspace data to life," said Jeff Cole, CEO and Co-Founder of Hidden Level. "By viewing our live data on Apple Vision Pro with spatial awareness, users can see, understand, and act on drone activity as it's happening. It's a whole new way to keep people safe."
"Our goal was to make the experience of monitoring airspace as natural and intuitive as possible," added Bob Leonard, CEO of About Objects. "With Apple Vision Pro, operators don't have to interpret complex data — they can see it, interact with it, and respond in the moment."
South Fayette Student to Join the U.S. Cyber Games Pipeline Program
South Fayette High School junior Monish Polimetla has earned the prestigious national honor of an invitation to join the U.S. Cyber Games Pipeline Program. This is a highly selective training and development program that prepares the nation’s top cyber athletes to represent the United States in international competition. Essentially, the Cyber Games are like an Olympics for cybersecurity.
Monish’s invitation is a remarkable achievement that places him among a small number of elite individuals nationwide who have demonstrated exceptional talent and potential in cybersecurity. Even more impressively, Monish earned this distinction entirely on his own, pursuing additional study, training, and competition outside of school hours. The U.S. Cyber Games Pipeline Program, which runs from January through May 2026, allows participants to train with industry professionals, solve real-world cybersecurity challenges, and attend exclusive workshops focused on protecting computer systems and combating digital threats. Top performers in the program can earn free college-level cybersecurity courses and professional certifications that typically take years and significant investment to achieve.
