Visual input & Cockpit instrument panel

A 'cockpit checklist' reduces defects in instrument sets.

Effects of Advanced Cockpit Displays on General Aviation Pilots’ Decisions to Continue Visual Flight Rules Flight into Instrument Meteorological Conditions

Thirty pilots flew a simulated VFR cross country flight into deteriorating weather with one of three levels of display support: a control display with standard instruments, a synthetic vision system (SVS) display depicting terrain and a highway in the sky (HITS), and a configuration in which the same SVS HITS display was augmented by an electronic moving map depicting weather. Results revealed ...

The Missing Instrument: Dirty Input Limits

This Article evaluates Dirty Input Limits (“DILs”), quantitative limits on the inputs that cause pollution. An environmental protection instrument that the literature has hitherto largely overlooked, DILs provide an alternative to cumbersome output-based emissions trading and performance standards. DILs have played a role in some of the world’s most prominent environmental success stories. They...

VISUAL PANEL: From an ordinary paper to a wireless and mobile input device

In many intelligent environments, instead of using conventional mice and keyboards, people are looking for an intuitive, immersive and cost-efficient interaction device. This paper presents a vision-based gesture interface system, VISUAL PANEL, which employs an arbitrary quadrangle-shaped panel (e.g., an ordinary paper) and a tip pointer (e.g., fingertip) as an intuitive input device. The syste...

VISUAL PANEL: Toward A Vision-Based Mobile Input Interface For Anywhere

In many intelligent environments, people are looking for an intuitive, immersive and cost-efficient interaction device, instead of using conventional mice and keyboards. This paper presents a vision-based gesture interface system, Visual Panel, which employs an arbitrary quadrangle-shape panel and a tip pointer like fingertip as an intuitive input device. Taking advantage of the panel, the syst...
