Foyle, David C., McCann, Robert S., Sanford, Beverly D. and Schwirzke, Martin F. J. (1993): Attentional Effects with Superimposed Symbology: Implications for Head-Up Displays (HUD). In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 37th Annual Meeting 1993. pp. 1340-1344.

“Previous research has shown that the presence of head-up display (HUD) symbology containing altitude information improves altitude performance at the cost of terrain path performance, implying that these information sources may not be available for concurrent cognitive processing. In two flight simulation experiments, the influence of attentive field size on this concurrent processing limitation was evaluated. In Experiment 1, a superimposed digital altitude (i.e., HUD) indicator was presented at three distances from a flight-relevant ground track. A control condition eliminated the digital altitude indicator. Altitude symbology improved performance on the altitude maintenance task, but impaired performance on the ground track task only when directly superimposed. Experiment 2 tested a visual masking explanation of the performance trade-off. Irrelevant HUD information yielded identical results to the HUD absent condition, ruling out effects of visual masking. An explanation in which visual/spatial attention cannot be directed to both HUD information and terrain information simultaneously is proposed. The absence of a performance tradeoff when the HUD and the terrain information are not directly superimposed is attributed to a breaking of attentional tunneling on the HUD, possibly due to eye movements.”

McCann, Robert S., Lynch, Jeannie, Foyle, David C. and Johnston, James C. (1993): Modeling Attentional Effects with Head-Up Displays. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 37th Annual Meeting 1993. pp. 1345-1349.

“Previous research (McCann, Foyle,&Johnston, 1993) has shown that in a simulated approach to a runway, performance of a choice reaction time task is faster when all relevant information is available on the HUD or in the world, compared to when information has to be acquired from both domains. The present experiment tested two attentional models of these results: attention switching and attention sharing. Removing differential motion cues from the display, so that both the HUD and the world were motionless, attenuated the domain effect. The attenuated difference reflected both slower responses on within-domain trials and faster responses on between-domain trials. We conclude that performance with Head-Up Displays is affected by both attention switching and the degree to which attention is shared between domains.”

Kaiser, Mary K. and Foyle, David C. (1991): Human Factors Issues in the Use of Night Vision Devices. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 35th Annual Meeting 1991. pp. 1502-1506.

“Electro-optical imaging systems have been integrated into rotorcraft operations, allowing pilots to fly at very low altitudes and avoid obstacles in reduced visibility. The hardware characteristics of these systems result in visual displays which differ significantly from unaided, daylight vision. The impact of these differences on perceptual performance (and, ultimately, on pilotage) is poorly understood. In this paper, we identify critical human factors concerns suggested by field data and review empirical studies of performance on flight-relevant perceptual tasks, notably depth and distance perception. Hardware modifications to improve man-system performance are suggested.”
