1. 1. Visualising uncertainty in aircraft cockpits : Is icon degradation an appropriate visualisation form

   University essay from Institutionen för kommunikation och information

   Author : Ari Kolbeinsson; [2013]
   Keywords : Uncertainty visualisation; Naturalistic decision-making; NDM; Aviation; Aircraft cockpit; Decision support; Situation assessment; Threat assessment.;

   Abstract : Visualising uncertainty information has been a research area for the past decade or so, and this thesis contains the results of an experiment that examines whether prior research on icon degradation for showing uncertainty can be used in a simulated aircraft cockpit environment. Using icon degradation has been suggested as being effective to combat overconfidence bias, as well as to accurately convey information about uncertainty. READ MORE

3. 2. Mind the gap : Extending the body into 3d environments using 2d tools for interaction

   University essay from Institutionen för kommunikation och information

   Author : Ari Kolbeinsson; [2011]
   Keywords : Interaction; virtual environments; tool use; embodied cognition; body schema; picking problem; drag-threshold problem; six axis; 3d mouse; Flatland;

   Abstract : This thesis is a literature study on how existing research on embodied tool use may support the use of the use of the computer mouse within three dimensional environments, followed by an analysis of a typical scenario in the use of three dimensional environment. Problems with interaction in this domain are well known to designers of 3d programs but not well understood, which results in programs in which mouse controllers are used to control three dimensional objects being more difficult to learn and less efficient to use than would be possible if the interaction was better understood.
