Navigation information system met with augmented reality

The video is an AR navigation information display system developed in Japan. In conjunction with FMD3300, a device that displays electronic charts, information is displayed in real time on images captured by cameras located on the ship. By integrating the automatic ship identification device and radar information, it displays various information such as the planned route and rapids on a display or tablet.

It is said that this function has been improved and the effectiveness has been verified through a tanker test in October, starting with the automobile carrier completed in March last year. Now, it is decided to install it on 21 large tankers that require safety for official production. It is said that using the AR function, it is possible to check vessels or shallow depths that need attention. In the future, it is expected to be sequentially loaded onto other energy carriers such as LNG carriers or ships that load and transport various resources.
