Desenvolvimento e avaliação de aplicações em realidade aumentada para melhoria de segurança marítima e de navegação

Abstract

This work develops and evaluates two applications based on augmented reality in order to validate their efficiency in aiding maritime and navigation safety. In this context, the applications aim to bring greater situational awareness to its operator and, through augmented reality, improve the efficiency of their work, displaying a compilation of data overlaying a real image of a certain vessel, thus facilitating the verification of its data and aiming faster and more efficient operator response. In addition, simulations were developed to compare the use of new programs in a controlled environment in relation to current equipment normally used, thus validating their advantages and disadvantages and using metrics to calculate their efficiency. The opinions of officers and users of maritime safety and navigation systems with more user experience than is currently available were also considered to evaluate new applications in real use situations and improve their performance by adding new features and validating their use
