3D-in-2D Displays for Air Traffic ControlFriday 19 January 2007 (week 2)
The 3D-in-2D Display is a novel form of distortion display that attempts to integrate 3D visualisation within a standard 2D planar radar display, rather than presenting them side by side. It is intended that such a display format will allow the controller a global perspective of the traffic situation while enabling localised 3D visualisation of traffic. In this talk, we will demonstrate this concept of display, and discuss some of the lessons we have learnt so far as we advance this work in an Innovation Research Project funded by the EUROCONTROL Experimental Centre.
Dr William Wong is Professor of Human-Computer Interaction and Head, Interaction Design Centre, Middlesex University, London. His research is in the area of cognitive systems engineering and human-computer interaction, focussing on the representation design of complex dynamic systems for decision making and situation awareness. His research includes emergency ambulance dispatch and power control in New Zealand, Australia, the UK, and more recently, air traffic management in Europe.
