In the modern maritime world, captains and crews are often over-informed by a multitude of navigation tools, sometimes stressful and counterproductive. At Toud Gward, we believe it’s time to restore the sailor’s place and decision-making power. Automating navigation to the extreme could validate the idea that humans are the number one danger factor on a boat. On the contrary, it is fundamental to give the sailor back his full decision-making power on board, through a danger awareness because he cannot fully rely on his instruments, as essential and efficient as they could.
Toud Gward is designed to be your “watching owl”, an innovative technology that announces dangers and helps prevent collisions. Thanks to a sound decision-making interface, inspired by immersive games, our system communicates specific alerts by spatialisation of the sound. Thus, the sailor can remain focussed on the horizon, ready to react immediately to the threats reported and to optimise the trajectory of his ship.
The data is transmitted to a man-machine interface to help the skipper in decision-making, through permanent knowledge of the situation. The surrounding dangers are represented by sound spatialization and haptic alarm.
The alert is triggered when the moving target enters the danger zone.
