Development of an Augmented Vision Video Panorama Human-Machine Interface for Remote Airport Tower Operation Human Interface and the Management of Information. Interacting in Information Environments

In this paper the development of a 180� high resolution video panorama system and results of initial field test at Braunschweig research airport are described. The system serves as main HMI for remote surface movement management of small airports or of movement areas not directly visible for the controller. It provides the framework for video-see-through augmented vision by integration of traffic and weather data and it allows for panorama replay. Preliminary evaluation of initial field tests quantify the visual resolution as compared to the real far view.
