“ ... there are no simple 'right' answers for most web design questions (at least not for the important ones). What works is good, integrated design that fills a need--carefully thought out, well executed, and tested. ”

-- Steve Krug, Don't Make Me Think, p. 136

Steiner, Bruce A. (1992): Human Engineering Requirements for Rapid Prototyping of Operator/Maintainer Interfaces: A Proposed Military Standard. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 36th Annual Meeting 1992. pp. 1096-1100.

“A proposed military standard was developed that establishes and defines the methodology to incorporate the use of rapid prototyping of operator/maintainer machine interface design into the system design process. The specification includes the work to be accomplished by the contractor or subcontractor in prototyping interfaces and evaluating those interfaces under operationally equivalent conditions. The tasks outlined provide the basis for defining, integrating and validating operator interface prototyping methodologies, as well as the software interface. Two data item descriptions were also developed; Rapid Prototyping Program Plan, and Rapid Prototyping Design Approach Document. The Rapid Prototyping Program Plan is the single document which describes the contractor's entire system prototype engineering program, identifies its elements, and explains how the elements will be managed. The Rapid Prototyping Design Approach Document provides a source of data with which to evaluate the extent to which the rapid prototyping design meets system engineering requirements and other human engineering criteria. This paper presents the main topics from the proposed standard.”

Camacho, Monica J., Steiner, Bruce A. and Berson, Barry L. (1990): Icons vs. Alphanumerics in Pilot-Vehicle Interfaces. In: D., Woods, and E., Roth, (eds.) Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 34th Annual Meeting 1990, Santa Monica, USA. pp. 11-15.

“The effects on performance from the use of icons and alphanumerics in pilot-vehicle interfaces were investigated in an experiment. Varying numbers of single status display indicators were presented in both iconic and alphanumeric formats in fixed and random display positions across three levels of difficulty. Subjects' ability to maintain a tracking task while concurrently searching and selecting appropriate display indicators was tested. Results indicated that for all numbers of indicators presented, icons produced faster search and selection reaction times. Significant interactions were also found for format type and difficulty level. Questionnaire assessment revealed that subjects preferred the iconic to the alphanumeric formats. Implications for the design of aircraft interfaces and further research suggestions are discussed.”

Steiner, Bruce A. and Dotson, Diane A. (1990): The Use of 3-D Stereo Display of Tactical Information. In: D., Woods, and E., Roth, (eds.) Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 34th Annual Meeting 1990, Santa Monica, USA. pp. 36-40.

“This study examined the effects of adding 3-D stereoscopic altitude information to a standard aircraft tactical situation display. In an experiment, displays presenting varying number of hostile aircraft were presented to subjects in either a 2-D or 3-D format via a computer driven real time simulation system. Tests indicate, that for all levels of number of threats, the 2-D displays resulted in faster response times and fewer errors to locate particular classes of targets. Questionnaire and interview results, however, showed that subjects prefer the use of 3-D displays, and felt that their use gave them a competitive edge over their opponents. Implication for the use of this technology in aircraft heads down displays, as well as suggestions for further research are discussed.”

Steiner, Bruce A. and Camacho, Monica J. (1989): Situation Awareness: Icons vs. Alphanumerics. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. pp. 28-32.

“This study examined the effect of varying the amount of information that is presented in either an alphanumeric or iconic display and its effect on how efficiently a pilot can utilize the data. The results from 12 subjects, under self-paced presentation length conditions, indicated that for a small quantity of data (2 or 4 bits) there is no difference in response times between iconic and alphanumeric displays. As the quantity of data presented increases (8, 16, or 32 bits), subjects perform better using iconic displays.”
