A method for enhancing visual situational awareness in a two-dimensional field of view of an electronic display device, comprising the steps of:
- providing an augmented reality view of an area of interest on the display device, the area of interest including a splash zone at a known distance from a predetermined location;
- providing an overhead image of the splash zone as an inset on the display device aligned with and positioned above the splash zone;
- and
- graphically generating a line defining a perimeter of the splash zone for identifying objects inside and outside the splash zone.
