REAL AND VIRTUAL CONVERGENCE WITH AUGMENTED REALITY FOR SUPPORTING OFFSHORE STRUCTURE MANAGEMENT

As the demands of offshore structures are increasing, human's error on the offshore structure is considered as important problems to prevent accident. Augmented reality technology is able to display the specific information to user in front of our eyes. Effect of augmented reality that is could provide high perception was reported already, so in this paper, we suggest augmented reality technology for the offshore structure's management to reduce human's error on the offshore structure and we will present a simple prototype which is able to display the specific knowledge/data on the PDA considering high usability on site.
