Enhancing Situational Awareness Using Fisheye Lenses

Abstract

Advances in C4I technology are constantly increasing the amount and quality of information available to command personnel. This brings to the fore the challenge of managing, navigating, and comprehending this information as a requirement for making correct and timely decisions. We discuss the use of fisheye lenses, also known as detail-in-context lenses, to aid in geo-spatial and imagery data presentation and interaction on computer displays with the goal of increasing comprehension, efficiency, and ultimately the quality of decisions. A framework is laid for the use of fisheye lenses, including the fusing of data from multiple sources, and the direct coupling of lenses with data.
