BARS: Battlefield Augmented Reality System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many future military operations are expected to occur in urban environments. These complex, 3D battlefields are extremely demanding and introduce many challenges to the dismounted warfighter. These include limited visibility, lack of familiarity with the environment, sniper threats, concealment of enemy forces, ineffective communications, and a general problem of locating and identifying enemy and friendly forces. Better situational awareness is required for effective operation in the urban environment.

متن کاملEvaluating System Capabilities and User Performance in the Battlefield Augmented Reality System∗
We describe a first experiment in evaluating the system capabilities of the Battlefield Augmented Reality System, an interactive system designed to present military information to dismounted warfighters. We describe not just the current experiment, but a methodology of both system evaluation and user performance measurement in the system, and show how both types of tests will be useful in syste...
