A Study and Evaluation on Route Guidance of a Car Navigation System Based on Augmented Reality

Abstract

We have developed AR-Navi, which is a car navigation system based on augmented reality technology. AR-Navi overlays computer graphics element on live video feed captured by the in-vehicle camera. In this study, we investigated and evaluated information presentation methods in intersection guidance by AR-Navi, from consideration of ease of understanding and also safety. As a result of the evaluations, we confirmed ease of understanding, safety, and the characteristics of AR-Navi in comparison with CG-Navi.
