Augmented Visual Feedback: Cure or Distraction?

Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of augmented feedback on participants' workload, performance, and distribution of visual attention.

Background: An important question in human-machine interface design is whether the operator should be provided with direct solutions. We focused on the solution space diagram (SSD), a type of augmented feedback that shows directly whether two aircraft are on conflicting trajectories.

Touchscreens for Aircraft Navigation Tasks: Comparing Accuracy and Throughput of Three Flight Deck Interfaces Using Fitts' Law.

Objective: Use Fitts' law to compare accuracy and throughput of three flight deck interfaces for navigation.

Background: Industry is proposing touch-based solutions to modernize the flight management system. However, research evaluating touchscreen effectiveness for navigation tasks in terms of accuracy and throughput on the flight deck is lacking.
