HMDを利用した航海情報の表示に関して

抄録

According to the reports over the last 5 years, a human error accounts for about 80 percent of causes in marine traffic accidents. Navigational instruments like ECDIS are useful for relieving crew members from their work load and supporting navigation, however our overconfidence in their instruments make us cause marine accidents. Therefore, watching is especially important.

In this study, we provide a new way to indicate navigational information by use of HMD. We project a panoramic video generated from cameras attached at ship's mast to HMD and overlay the navigational information of other ships. Proposed display method becomes an efficient information support because view of a person who wears HMD follows person's head motion. We display 6 kinds of information which are own ship state, other ship states, radar, chart, panoramic video and a bird's-eye view of own ship.
