Abstract

The technologies for the use of augmented reality are maturing more and more and seem to offer many possible applications. There is also a lot of research and development in the industrial and business environment to increase productivity, improve communication or minimize errors. This work focuses on the use of augmented reality in the cooperation between spatially separated operators working on a common task. AR is intended to present spatial information to the operator being instructed, thus relieving the operator of tasks involving spatial orientation. In a study that is currently being planned, we want to find out whether the use of AR can support the operator in a search-and-rescue scenario at sea and thus reduce the time needed to perform tasks. AR will be compared to the way information is presented on traditional displays.
