Pushing the limits of ATC user interface design beyond S&M interaction: the DigiStrips experience
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most designs proposed for air traffic control workstations are based on user interface designs from the early 1980s, though research in user interaction has produced innovations since then. Project Toccata federates a series of research held at CENA on new user interfaces and services for ATC. Virtuosi and DigiStrips are two prototypes developed for Toccata, which make use of touch screens and served as a basis for research on the use of graphical design techniques in user interfaces. This paper describes the lessons learnt in that experience and argues that techniques such as animation, font design, careful use of graphical design techniques can augment the possibilities of user interface design and improve the usability of systems. We finally analyze the possible implications on ATC workstation design.

Users Bandwidth problems in ATC : How DigiStrips , DigiListes and HMI techniques address it
This paper focuses on communication and information flows in the ATC system. A description of the various channels of information is made. The bandwidth of channels involving a human operator is considered a major limitation in the performance of the overall ATC system. This bandwidth could be dramatically increased, provided some interaction techniques are implemented. Examples based on DigiSt...

Graphical user interfaces have limitations in terms of the information bandwidth they provide between users and systems. This can impede the redesign of systems previously based on more physical media: information may be less appropriately displayed, and shared cognition between users can be reduced. However, in parallel with research on new user interaction techniques, a more systematic use of...
