Impact of Visualization and Communication Technologies on the Occupational Health of Mariners

The topic of this paper is the influence of new communication technologies on the psychological health of mariners. In what ways can these technologies change the lives of mariners and their time between embarkation and disembarkation? The paper examines different references from this multidisciplinary area. In marine electronics and communications, the advances in satellite communications have made it possible for mariners to contact home, while new haptic, 3D and virtual-reality technologies make them feel closer to home. However, from the medical perspective, it would be interesting to see if these technologies have any influence on the physical health as well, like the reported headache problems during the use of 3D glasses. The problem area should therefore be investigated by multidisciplinary teams.
