Behavior Navigation System for Use in harsh environments

Performing general human behavior by experts´ navigation is expected to be realized as advances are made in wearable technologies and computing. For instance, the user of the behavior navigation system can conduct first aid treatment similar to an expert. We have proposed and developed a prototype of the advanced Behavior Navigation System (BNS) using Augmented Reality (AR) technology. By using BNS, an expert can guide a non-expert to conduct a variety of tasks. The behavior navigation systems can also be used in various tasks in harsh environments, such as factories and construction sites. In this paper, we present the BNS specifically designed to operate in harsh environments with conditions such as strong vibrations, high temperatures and wet or dusty environments. The detailed configuration of the prototype of the BNS and the results of preliminary evaluations are presented.
