VIDEAR: Making the Invisible… Visible

The Problem

Every day, over 170,000 vessels, paramotor pilots, kayakers, and paddleboarders operate in UK coastal waters completely invisible to electronic watchkeeping.

Commercial ships cannot see them. RNLI crews cannot track them. When something goes wrong, rescue teams search blind across hundreds of square kilometres.

VIDEAR makes them visible.

How It Works

Our patented Common Position Awareness System — CPAS — turns the smartphone already in a coastal user's pocket into a real-time 3D safety beacon.

No hardware. No infrastructure cost. No barrier to adoption.

We unify AIS feeds, mobile GNSS, UAV telemetry, and LiDAR terrain into a single navigable 3D Digital Twin — built on Unity 6, protected by UK Patent GB2629638B.

Where traditional tracking shows a flat map, VIDEAR shows a living volume. A kayaker at sea level. A paramotor at 300 feet. A ferry entering the harbour mouth. All in the same display. All in real time.

Why Now

RYA SafeTrx — the UK's primary coastal safety tracking service — closed permanently on 31 December 2025. Over 13,000 active users lost their platform overnight. Approximately 6,000 remain without a viable replacement today.

No current alternative integrates with RNLI systems. None make coastal users visible to commercial shipping.

VIDEAR is the only platform that closes this loop — and the window to act is open right now.

Join Our Feasibility Study

We are building the Newhaven to Worthing corridor — 20km of the UK's most diverse coastal and low-level airspace traffic — as our pilot deployment.

We're looking for sailors, paramotor pilots, kayakers, SUP boarders, RNLI crews, and port operators to get involved.

6 months free access. No hardware. Just your smartphone.
