Value of 3D Situational Awareness The basis for real-time decision making Command and Control Human in the Loop —In Harm’s Way Human in the Loop —Out of Harm’s Way Safety and Security Seeing and identifying threats

Situational Awareness Visually Dominant Activity 50% of sensory neurons engaged in vision

Visual Dominance: The Colavita Effect When presented with multiple sensory stimuli – the brain favors vision.

2D Displays Provide Incomplete Information Can 3D Save Lives? NASA thinks so. Monoscopic Depth Cues Motion Parallax Perspective Relative Size Greater Situational Awareness Familiar Size De-cluttered data enhances comprehension Occlusion Shading Texture Gradient Elevation

Stereoscopic Cues/Binocular Vision Retinal disparity Accommodation Convergence

Improved perception of relative position in space (most precise cue) The shape and volume of objects Segregation in complex scenes (foliage) Camouflaged objects Surface perception
