By using an augmented reality (AR) headset and combining it with navigational data, vessel crew will have the capability to overlay mission critical information over their field of vision even when visibility is near zero, increasing their situational awareness and improving safety.<\/p>\n<p>This project, led by NL based Engage Creative Technologies with partners Mitacs, the Fisheries and Marine Institute of Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador, Petroleum Research Newfoundland and Labrador, Rutter, and Robot Interactive + Marketing will deliver a commercially viable and revolutionary product in <em>BridgeVUE<\/em>. The collaboration this project creates will ensure that <em>BridgeVU<\/em>E is a technically-sound system that can be integrated onto the bridge of existing vessels.<\/p>\n<p>With a total project value of more than $420,000, the Ocean Supercluster will provide close to $170,000 thousand in funding, with the balance of funding coming from project partners.<\/p>\n<p>This project will place Canada at the forefront of bringing an emerging technology to market while simultaneously building and growing Atlantic Region expertise in Canada and creating employment in the local workforce.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quotes: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cCanada\u2019s oceans, the bounty in their waters and the riches within them have created prosperity for generations of Canadians. Our people have expertise now that can take on the world. So, let\u2019s take it on.\u201d \u2013 <strong>The Honourable Seamus O\u2019Regan Jr., Minister of Natural Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThree years ago, the government selected Canada\u2019s five superclusters to accelerate innovation in areas of competitive advantage for Canada, including the ocean economy. We have seen unprecedented momentum from the superclusters, with hundreds of projects approved and thousands of jobs created. As Canada looks to grow its sustainable blue economy, the work the Ocean Supercluster is doing to advance our ocean industries is more valuable than ever.\u201d \u2013<strong> The Honourable Bernadette Jordan, Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe BridgeVUE Project delivers an exciting augmented reality solution\u00a0that provides\u00a0real-time radar data\u00a0to inform decision making and\u00a0enable\u00a0safer\u00a0navigation of vessels at sea, even in the most challenging conditions. This is an Atlantic Canadian solution with global\u00a0potential\u00a0and we are excited to\u00a0see its development and deployment into the market.\u201d \u2013\u00a0<strong>Kendra MacDonald, CEO, Canada\u2019s Ocean Supercluster<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur world is on the verge of a digital revolution as emerging technologies become a more significant part of everyday life. At Engage, we want to be a first mover in adopting these emerging technologies to solve real-world problems. By blending mixed-reality technology with marine navigation systems, we believe our BridgeVUE application will enhance situational awareness in harsh marine environments, and ultimately allow for faster, better, and safer decision-making.\u201d \u2013 <strong>Aaron Dawe, President, Engage Creative Technologies<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cDeploying digital technologies in the offshore is a huge opportunity to continuously improve the safety and efficiency of operations. Using augmented reality can enhance situational awareness and decision-making in mission-critical situations and we\u2019re excited to see the BridgeVUE project succeed.\u201d \u2013 <strong>Dave Finn, CEO, Petroleum Research Newfoundland and Labrador<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Marine Institute\u2019s Centre for Marine Simulation is a global leader in specialized maritime training and the use of simulation technology.
