Electronic Navigational Chart Generator for a Marine Mobile Augmented Reality System
Résumé
Augmented Reality devices are about to reach mainstream
markets but applications have to meet user expectations in
terms of usage and ergonomics. In this paper, we present a reallife
outdoor Marine Augmented Reality Navigational Assistance Application (MARNAA) that alleviates cognitive load issues (orientation between electronic navigational devices and bridge view) for vessels and recreational boats. First, we describe the current application and explain the requirements to draw relevant and meaningful objects. Secondly we present the 3D chart generator that extracts and provides the meaningful information to the application. Then, we detail our Marine Mobile Augmented Reality System (MMARS) and a generic architecture that can embeds MARNAA application. Finally, we present results and implementations.
