The present disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method for assisting a person in operating a marine vessel. The method comprises steps of obtaining information on an environment of the marine vessel to determine at least one event, state or entity; acquiring position and orientation information of the marine vessel, and determining a relative position of the determined event or object, relative to the marine vessel, determining first spatial signaling information based on the relative position, and acquiring position and orientation information of a tactile interface device comprising actuators arranged in contact with the assisted person; and computing second spatial signaling information by converting the first spatial signaling information based on the orientation information of the marine vessel and the tactile interface device, and generating control information for the tactile interface device and outputting, via the tactile interface device, the computed second spatial signaling information to the assisted person.
