Abstract : HUD is a visual media technology in which 3D virtual
objects are integrated into the real world in less intrusive
way. It can provide information about the status and
location of the surrounding environment in real time. This
paper proposes an AR-HUD system to visualize the
“out-of-the-window” scene and spatially align the real
and superimposed objects i.e. collimation in accordance
with the user’s line of sight. This is achieved through
mapping the frames of references of the real site and the
HUD system. The interaction between the HUD and the
user is provided using an optimized head tracking
approach. Observation of the people and vehicle
movements in the outside world is dynamically
represented in our AR HUD system. The system is further
enhanced with the use of transparent projection screen
with varying voltage regulation capability to adjust the
transparency of the screen for observing distant objects.
To evaluate the feasibility of this system, we have
considered a construction site scenario which is
populated with buildings, equipments, workers, and
vehicles. Preliminary evaluation of the initial field tests
quantify the performance of our system, compared with
the real far view.
