Augmented reality situational awareness system and method

摘要: Method and apparatus are presented for prioritizing assessing navigation data using an Augmented Reality aid. Navigators often placed in treacherous, unfamiliar, or low-visibility situations. An augmented reality aid is used to overlay relevant computer-generated images, which anchored real-world locations of hazards, onto one more users' field view. Areas safe passage transportation platforms such as ships, land vehicles, aircraft can be displayed via imagery inferred from various attributes the display. The invention applicable waterway navigation, (for approaching runways terrain low visibility situations). A embodiment called WARN™, Waterway Navigation™. method visualization hazards pose a serious threat those immediate vicinity. Such include, but not limited to, fire, smoke, radiation, invisible gasses. utilizes reality, defined mixing real world with graphical elements. Computer-generated three-dimensional representations training operations emergency first responders others. show actions variety dangers, computer-generated, perceived perceived, settings. representations, may graphic, iconic, textual, overlaid view user's world, thus providing hazards. user then implement procedures (training operational) appropriate hazard at hand. uses text other messages sent EFR by incident commander. transmitted commander computer scene EFR/trainee operational scenario. Messages EFR/trainee, including (but to) iconic representation victims, structural data, environmental conditions, exit directions/locations, superimposed right EFR/trainee's emergency/fire surroundings. primary intended applications improved safety EFR, EFR-incident communications both on-scene scenarios.
