Click to go to the Head-Up Displays and Attention page   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.

This program of research has investigated human performance issues related to night vision devices, sensor imagery devices, and infrared technologies.
     
Click to go to the Human Performance Modeling page   Human Performance Modeling

The goal of Human Performance Modeling is to develop predictive modeling capabilities to identify 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 ( Synthetic Vision Systems).
