AUSPLANS (Augmented Synchronised Planning Spaces) is a Defence
domain project coordinated by DSTC SA. The project focuses on
support for intense collaboration activities within Defence
Command and Control Environments through the rapid augmentation
and enablement of physical workspaces using emerging ubiquitous
computing and human interaction technologies.
Current technologies are primarily paper-based solutions with
the end assets created in traditional Microsoft office electronic
documents. AusPlans will investigate how new emerging ubiquitous
workspace technologies may be incorporated into the planning
process for the Australian Defence Force.
Objectives to be addressed include:
- agile approaches to pre-planning and rescheduling of workspace activities
- improved team awareness through the ambient display of information
- synchronisation of time-critical activities and results
- coordination within media rich, multiple display environments for improved
situation awareness, and
- automated support for information management and the consolidation/ presentation
of results
