Remote Supervision of an Autonomous Surface Vehicle using Virtual Reality

摘要

We compared three different Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) that we have designed and implemented to enable human supervision of an Autonomous Surface Vehicle (ASV). Special attention has been paid to provide tools for a safe navigation and giving the user a good overall understanding of the surrounding world while keeping the cognitive load at a low level. Our findings indicate that a GUI in 3D, presented either on a screen or in a Virtual Reality (VR) setting provides several benefits compared to a Baseline GUI representing traditional tools.
