Abstract: |
Maritime
operations involve complex tasks that must be taught through practical
training. Using modern technologies offshore simulators can serve as
realistic environment for training. The degree of immersiveness can be increased by replacing conventional
input devices (keyboards, joysticks) with natural user interface (NUI)
devices. This paper surveys different NUI technologies and advocates
that vision-based systems, such as Microsoft Kinect,
can provide gesture recognition with high fidelity. The unobtrusiveness of
vision-based technologies is highly important to avoid user resistance and
preserve realism of the simulation. |
