DISCOVERing the Impact of Reality

摘要

In this poster paper, we introduce the DISCOVER project, which is developing a CVE for teams to practice managing emergencies in offshore and maritime domains. Many factors constrain design in such contexts. Here we describe just one of them, the need for a particularly convincing sense of reality, and hence the lack of scope for 'magical' devices to support navigation and awareness. We outline the research and design challenges which this entails.
