Tekniken har traditionellt sett inte använts i krävande miljöer, exempelvis i miljöer där skakningar och g-laster förekommer. Introduktionen av pekskärmsteknologi i cockpitmiljö får konsekvenser för utformningen av förarmiljön vilka bör utredas. Denna studie syftade till att empiriskt utvärdera användarnas prestation med avseende på precision vid olika interaktionsmanövrar på en pekskärm. Fyra försök genomfördes med 14 försöksdeltagare i en simulerad miljö där olika grader av skakningar förekom.

Testresultaten visar att relativt god precision går att uppnå vid interaktion med pekskärm men att vissa typer av interaktion är svårare och skattas högre med avseende på arbetsbelastning än andra. Resultatet från en inledande workshop med förare och ingenjörer visar på en positiv inställning till pekskärmar som komplement till inmatning i cockpit. Rapporten ger rekommendationer för utformningen av gränssnitt för pekskärm för att undvika interaktionsproblem vid skakningar och g-laster. / Touchscreens are a common occurrence in everyday applications these days. The technology is not traditionally used in high hazard environments, in example where vibrations and G-forces is frequently occurring. The consequences of introducing touchscreens to the cockpit environment are something to consider when designing the pilot environment. The purpose of this study is to empirically evaluate the user performance and precision when interacting with touchscreens. Four tests were conducted with 14 trial participants in a semi-controlled environment where varying degrees of vibrations occurred. Measurements of the participants’ precision were measured together with a subjective workload measure developed by NASA (TLX). Correlation analyses were carried out between the experimental participants’ subjective workload and data from the experiments. The difference in precision and performance was also analysed between the precision tests to see if there was any learning effects. The test results show that good precision was possible to some extent but that some types of interaction is more difficult then others hence increasing workload for the participants. The results of an initial workshop with pilots and engineers show a positive attitude towards touchscreens as complement for the currently available input methods. The report provides recommendations for the design of touchscreen interfaces to avoid issues caused by shaking and g-loads.

23	Investigating The Universality And Comprehensive Ability Of Measures To Assess The State Of Workload Abich, Julian 01 January 2013 (has links) Measures of workload have been developed on the basis of the various definitions, some are designed to capture the multi-dimensional aspects of a unitary resource pool (Kahneman, 1973) while others are developed on the basis of multiple resource theory (Wickens, 2002). Although many theory based workload measures exist, others have often been constructed to serve the purpose of specific experimental tasks. As a result, it is likely that not every workload measure is reliable and valid for all tasks, much less each domain. To date, no single measure, systematically tested across experimental tasks, domains, and other measures is considered a universal measure of workload. Most researchers would argue that multiple measures from various categories should be applied to a given task to comprehensively assess workload. The goal for Study 1 to establish task load manipulations for two theoretically different tasks that induce distinct levels of workload assessed by both subjective and performance measures was successful. The results of the subjective responses support standardization and validation of the tasks and demands of that task for investigating workload. After investigating the use of subjective and objective measures of workload to identify a universal and comprehensive measure or set of measures, based on Study 2, it can only be concluded that not one or a set of measures exists. Arguably, it is not to say that one will never be conceived and developed, but at this time, one does not reside in the psychometric catalog. Instead, it appears that a more suitable approach is to customize a set of workload measures based on the task. The novel approach of assessing the sensitivity and comprehensive ability of conjointly utilizing subjective, performance, and physiological workload measures for theoretically different tasks within the same domain contributes to the theory by laying the foundation for improving methodology for researching workload. The applicable contribution of this project is a stepping-stone towards developing complex profiles of workload for use in closed-loop systems, such as human-robot team iv interaction.

24	Interaktionskvalitet - hur mäts det? Friberg, Annika January 2009 (has links) Den tekniska utvecklingen har lett till att massiva mängder av information sänds, i högahastigheter. Detta flöde måste vi lära oss att hantera. För att maximera nyttan av de nyateknikerna och undkomma de problem som detta enorma informationsflöde bär med sig, börinteraktionskvalitet studeras. Vi måste anpassa gränssnitt efter användaren eftersom denneinte har möjlighet att anpassa sig till, och sortera i för stora informationsmängder. Vi måsteutveckla system som gör människan mer effektiv vid användande av gränssnitt.För att anpassa gränssnitten efter användarens behov och begränsningar krävs kunskaperom den mänskliga kognitionen. När kognitiv belastning studeras är det viktigt att en såflexibel, lättillgänglig och icke-påträngande teknik som möjligt används för att få objektivamätresultat, samtidigt som pålitligheten är av största vikt. För att kunna designa gränssnittmed hög interaktionskvalitet krävs en teknik att utvärdera dessa. Målet med uppsatsen är attfastställa en mätmetod väl lämpad för mätning av interaktionskvalitet.För mätning av interaktionskvalitet rekommenderas en kombinering av subjektiva ochfysiologiska mätmetoder, detta innefattar en kombination av Functional near-infraredspecroscopy; en fysiologisk mätmetod som mäter hjärnaktiviteten med hjälp av ljuskällor ochdetektorer som fästs på frontalloben, Electrodermal activity; en fysiologisk mätmetod sommäter hjärnaktiviteten med hjälp av elektroder som fästs över skalpen och NASA task loadindex; en subjektiv, multidimensionell mätmetod som bygger på kortsortering och mäteruppfattad kognitiv belastning i en sammanhängande skala. Mätning med hjälp av dessametoder kan resultera i en ökad interaktionskvalitet i interaktiva, fysiska och digitalagränssnitt. En uppskattning av interaktionskvalitet kan bidra till att fel vid interaktionminimeras, vilket innebär en förbättring av användares upplevelse vid interaktion. / Technical developments have led to the broadcasting of massive amounts of information, athigh velocities. We must learn to handle this flow. To maximize the benefits of newtechnologies and avoid the problems that this immense information flow brings, interactionquality should be studied. We must adjust interfaces to the user because the user does nothave the ability to adapt and sort overly large amounts of information. We must developsystems that make the human more efficient when using interfaces.To adjust the interfaces to the user needs and limitations, knowledge about humancognitive processes is required. When cognitive workload is studied it is important that aflexible, easily accessed and non assertive technique is used to get unbiased results. At thesame time reliability is of great importance. To design interfaces with high interaction quality,a technique to evaluate these is required. The aim of this paper is to establish a method that iswell suited for measurement of interaction quality.When measuring interaction quality, a combination of subjective and physiologicalmethods is recommended. This comprises a combination of Functional near-infraredspectroscopy; a physiological measurement which measures brain activity using light sourcesand detectors placed on the frontal lobe, Electrodermal activity; a physiological measurementwhich measures brain activity using electrodes placed over the scalp and NASA task loadindex; a subjective, multidimensional measurement based on card sorting and measures theindividual perceived cognitive workload on a continuum scale. Measuring with these methodscan result in an increase in interaction quality in interactive, physical and digital interfaces.An estimation of interaction quality can contribute to eliminate interaction errors, thusimproving the user’s interaction experience. interaction cognitive workload interaction quality measure measurement interaktion kognitiv belastning interaktionskvalitet mätning mäta kvalitet quality EEG Electroencephalography elektroencefalografi SWAT Subjective workload assessment technique NASA TLX NASA task load index pupil dilation Modified Cooper Harper Scale MCH skalan Modified Cooper Harper Skalan MCH scale mätmetoder measures subjektiv objektiv subjective objective Skin conductivity response Heart rate variability Functional near- infrared spectroscopy SCR HRV fNIRS kommunikation communication kognition cognition teknikstödd kommunikation ansikte mot ansikte kommunikation face to face interaktivitet information interactivity workload arbetsbelastning cognitive kognitiv Diagnosticity sensitivity upplösning mätinstrument känslighet utvärdering analys utvärderingsprocedur metod method kalibrering calibration Engineering and Technology Teknik och teknologier
25	Implementation and Analysis of Co-Located Virtual Reality for Scientific Data Visualization Jordan M McGraw (8803076) 07 May 2020 (has links) <div>Advancements in virtual reality (VR) technologies have led to overwhelming critique and acclaim in recent years. Academic researchers have already begun to take advantage of these immersive technologies across all manner of settings. Using immersive technologies, educators are able to more easily interpret complex information with students and colleagues. Despite the advantages these technologies bring, some drawbacks still remain. One particular drawback is the difficulty of engaging in immersive environments with others in a shared physical space (i.e., with a shared virtual environment). A common strategy for improving collaborative data exploration has been to use technological substitutions to make distant users feel they are collaborating in the same space. This research, however, is focused on how virtual reality can be used to build upon real-world interactions which take place in the same physical space (i.e., collaborative, co-located, multi-user virtual reality).</div><div><br></div><div>In this study we address two primary dimensions of collaborative data visualization and analysis as follows: [1] we detail the implementation of a novel co-located VR hardware and software system, [2] we conduct a formal user experience study of the novel system using the NASA Task Load Index (Hart, 1986) and introduce the Modified User Experience Inventory, a new user study inventory based upon the Unified User Experience Inventory, (Tcha-Tokey, Christmann, Loup-Escande, Richir, 2016) to empirically observe the dependent measures of Workload, Presence, Engagement, Consequence, and Immersion. A total of 77 participants volunteered to join a demonstration of this technology at Purdue University. In groups ranging from two to four, participants shared a co-located virtual environment built to visualize point cloud measurements of exploded supernovae. This study is not experimental but observational. We found there to be moderately high levels of user experience and moderate levels of workload demand in our results. We describe the implementation of the software platform and present user reactions to the technology that was created. These are described in detail within this manuscript.</div> Software Engineering Computer Software Computer Graphics Simulation and Modelling Virtual Reality and Related Simulation Mobile Technologies Networking and Communications Computer-Human Interaction Collaborative Virtual Reality Virtual Reality Collaborative Virtual Reality Networking Networked VR Mulitplayer Multiplayer VR Data Visualization Data Exploration Head Mounted Display Cyberspace Augmented Reality Emerging Technologies Consumer Devices Virtual Environment Virtual Aesthetics Collaborative VR Simulation Training Simulation and Training Colocated Colocated Virtual Environment Immersive Media Immersive Technology Collaborative Tools Educational Virtual Environment Point Cloud Representations Isosurface Representations Mesh Smoothng Supernova Supernovae Supernova Remnant Modeling Astronomy and Astrophysics Cassiopeia N132D E0102 Crab Nebula CAVE CAVE Theater Mobile VR Virtual Classrooms STEM Workload Workload Assessment Tool Presence Engagement Immersion Experience Consequence Simulator sickness Simulator Sickness Questionnaire NASA TLX NASA Task Load Index Unified User Experience Quesionnaire Modified User Experience Questionnaire Oculus Oculus Go Oculus Quest Novel Solutions Optitrack Motive Motion Capture Mocap User Experience Unity3D Game Engine Lidgren Room Scale VR Hall Scale VR Co-location Colocation Virtual Training Collaborative Virtual Environments Shared Virtual Environments Collaboration Whiteboard Mobile Virtual Reality VR HMD LAN UX CSCL UXQ TLX AR VE CVE 3D UI EVE
