  • Cognitive load reduction and field of view enhancing standardized graphical user interface (GUI) overlay generating system or systems that include elements that correlate various device, event, or operation inputs with common GUI overlay generation modules and group related GUI elements across overlays along with associated methods
    Patent number: 9535562
    Abstract: A device or computer program that takes the data and/or video from separate sensory devices and then combines this information for display in a standardized, but user configurable Graphical User Interface. Since each input device is paired with a device driver to properly parse the data for the input device, new devices may be added by writing new device drivers. The GUI has a standard set of elements that the individual user can modify to suit their personal preferences and needs. Since the Graphical User Interface is standardized, the user knows where to look for the data that they need no matter which sensory device is attached.
