3D Application Study
Abstract
This effort considered ways in which the application of three dimensional display technology could improve task performance in the battle management arena. A subset of a typical Air Force C3I battle management application was analyzed to evaluate how 3D display technology could aid in task performance. Appropriate C3I applications were studied to determine the categories of problems that might benefit most from anticipated 3D capabilities. Various approaches for the generation of three dimensional images were investigated in order to determine their potential applicability to the identified problem areas. Different technologies and techniques for 3D image generation were examined, and the feasibility of their application was assessed. Finally, a demonstration of the use of 3D in support of an approved application was developed. In specific, 3D benefits were identified, commercially available equipment was evaluated and acquired, and a demonstration system was developed to illustrate the use of 3D in a C3I application. This report presents the results of this study effort.
