Abstract
Mini-Map with Gaze Guidance Line Visualization Module enables new types and classes of Human Computer Interface enhancements where the Humans can easily and simultaneously see where objects are relative within a 2D map in the foreground connected via intuitive gaze guidance lines to the same object with the Augmented Reality view. The Mini-Map is fully manipulatable position, zoom, display angle with defaults being relative to the user.
Claims11
A method for enhancing visual situational awareness in a field of view on an electronic display device, comprising the steps of:
- providing a real-world view of a geographical area forward of the location of the display device on a screen of the display device;
- indicating a geographical location of a predetermined area on the display device;
- creating an inset on the display device of a mini-map of the predetermined area;
- and
- creating and displaying a set of gaze guidance lines from specific locations in the predetermined area to objects on the mini-map corresponding to objects in the real world view to enhance situational awareness by the user of the display device.
