Design of an Augmented Reality System for the Live Visualization of Ship Identification Data

Newly educated sailors have a tendency to neglect the outside view when sailing [1], instead relying on systems like the Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) [2] for information on ships in the area.Augmented Reality (AR) has been proposed as a solution to this problem, by visualising ships in the area in 3D at their physical...

Head-mounted display versus desktop for 3D navigation in virtual reality: A user study

Virtual Reality (VR) has been constantly evolving since its early days, and is now a fundamental technology in different application areas. User evaluation is a crucial step in the design and development of VR systems that do respond to users’ needs, as well as for identifying applications that indeed gain from the use of such technology. Yet,...
