How can design make navigation safer?

How can design make navigation safer?

At Nor-Fishing, Ragnhild Kristina Ølstad from NTNU Technology Transfer AS presented a maritime head-up display for fishing vessels.

The head-up display is developed by Jon Bernhard Høstmark, Felix-Marcel Petermann and Ole Andreas Alsos from NTNU Department of design.

The head-up display gives a simplified visualization of information through design and good results from testing in the simulator. The solution is better information through design.

"It is intuitive, it keeps your head up from the screen, has less switching, only upon alerts", Ragnhild Ølstad says.

The display also simplifies information from the system, reduces visual overload, improves situational awareness, is a good support in low visibility, and shows the relative position. 

The team and NTNU Technology Transfer are now looking for partners for production, sale and distribution of the display.
