Head-Up
Displays and Attention
This
program of research investigates Head-Up Display (HUD)
designs that minimize potential problems associated
with operator attention such as attentional tunneling
or cognitive capture. Empirical research has contributed
to HUD symbology designs that minimize attentional tunnelling.

Situation Awareness Displays: Design and Usage
Head-down
panel mounted displays are used for the presentation
of navigation and traffic infomation. Our research investigates
both design issues and display usage issues.

Taxiway
Navigation and Situation Awareness (T-NASA) Display
System
for Surface Operations
T-NASA
is a suite of cockpit navigation displays that is comprised
of a scene-linked head-up display (HUD), electronic
moving maps (EMMs), and directional auditory alerts.
The system was developed following a human-centered
design and analysis process that included over 300 pilots.

Human
Performance Modeling
The
goal of the Human Performance Modeling element of NASA's
System-Wide Accident Prevention Program is to develop
predictive modeling capabilities to identify likely
error vulnerabilities in human-system operations. Human-error
assessment methodologies that allow system designs and
procedures to be analyzed for error susceptibility are
being developed and validated. The modeling efforts
are currently focusing on approach and landing scenarios
with augmented displays such as Synthetic Vision Systems.
