<p>A human centered informational display system (named OZ) is disclosed that can be used with vehicles (e.g. aircraft) and in other operational environments where rapid human centered comprehension of an operational environment is required. The informational display integrates all cockpit information into a single display in such a way that the pilot can clearly understand with a glance, his or her spatial orientation, flight performance, engine status and power management issues, radio aids, and the location of other air traffic, runways, weather, and terrain features; he or she can thus recongize flight path deviations, and is instictively drawn to the corrective manoeuvres. The information is presented using metaphorical representations and simple drawing primitives (e.g. a moving star field). The OZ system transfers to the pilot all of the integrated display information in less than 200 milliseconds. The reacquisition of scan can be accomplished just as quickly. Thus, the time constants for forming a mental model are near instantaneous.</p> |
