AR Navigation System is an advanced augmented reality navigation system that provides substantial support to navigation, using the power of AR to go beyond reality.

Thanks to a camera pointed forward of the vessel, an image of the front view projects on a display and all the necessary navigation information is superimposed over this live video imagery by AR technology. Even in adverse weather or visibility conditions, other vessels' routes and critical information can be clearly viewed as well as own ship data for stress-free maneuvering and navigation. This very intuitive way to display and share the information between the captain and the bridge team provides enhanced situational awareness, crew confidence, watchman support, and allows for better coordination of crew members.
