Three-dimensional displays for commercial aircraft: A theoretical and empirical evaluation

The requirements for a modern comparison of two-dimensional and three-dimensional perspective displays for aviation are outlined. Previous studies making such a comparison are discussed, and found to not contain the displays and tasks required to fully evaluate the relative tradeoffs of two- and three-dimensional displays, as predicted by the Compatibility Proximity Principle. Two displays containing prediction and preview are designed and compared: one using three orthogonal spatial views, and one using one three-dimensional inside-out perspective view. Performance measures include flight path tracking accuracy during routine flight and during events designed to precipitate the loss of situational awareness, accuracies and response times to three different judgment events designed to evaluate the applicability of the Compatibility Proximity Principle to this issue, the incidence of integrated control actions in several dimensions and subjective workload ratings. The results of the study are evaluated both in terms of relative performance of the two displays, and in terms of the predictions of the Compatibility Proximity Principle.
