The system processes available data locally on the yacht, to ensure security and privacy for end-users.&nbsp;“It’s very advanced in what kind of data it can handle”, says Fabian Tollenaar. “For instance, besides the usual navigation and engine data, it can deal with visual (camera) feeds for computer vision and advanced 3D operations.”Fabian continues, “Integrating EsSense AI in <a href="https://yachteye.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">YachtEye</a> enables us to build advanced, exciting features for <a href="https://yachteye.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">YachtEye</a>. For example, we can contextualise the information shown on a <a href="https://yachteye.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">YachtEye</a> display based on real-time data, which means that that information will be much more relevant to the guests at any given time and place.”The integration of EsSense AI in <a href="https://yachteye.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">YachtEye</a> will also reduce the amount of work for the crew, &nbsp;because the system selects and displays the right data at the right time rather than the crew having to set it up. Furthermore we can offer additional experiences such as mobile apps and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3897" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Crestron (Company)">Crestron</a> integration.Merijn de Waard, founder and director of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4509" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SuperYacht Times (Company)">SuperYacht Times</a>, comments, “I am very pleased with this important strategic acquisition.
