Computer programs emerge as the outcome of complex human processes of cognition, communication and negotiation, which serve to establish the meaningful embedding of the computer system in its intended use context.

Sollenberger, Randy L. and Hale, Mark (2011): Human-in-the-Loop Investigation of Variable Separation Standards in the En Route Air Traffic Control Environment. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 55th Annual Meeting 2011. pp. 66-70.

Human factors researchers from the FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center conducted a human-in-the-loop simulation to investigate variable lateral separation standards in the en route air traffic control environment. Twelve Certified Professional Controllers participated in the study. In addition to the typical 5-mile separation standard for the en route environment, we used reduced and increased separation requirements in the study. We simulated reduced separation requirements (i.e., 3 miles) using a Single Sensor Radar Site Adaptation as well as for aircraft with either Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast or Performance-Based Navigation equipment. We simulated increased separation (i.e., 10 miles) for Unmanned Aircraft Systems. In addition, we simulated variable wake turbulence separation requirements for Airbus 380s and Very Light Jets. We also developed a set of support tools to assist the controllers in using the variable separation procedures. We identified several human factors issues that may affect air traffic controllers when using variable separation standards in the en route environment.

Sollenberger, Randy L. and Milgram, Paul (1991): A Comparative Study of Rotational and Stereoscopic Computer Graphic Depth Cues. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 35th Annual Meeting 1991. pp. 1452-1456.

The present research investigated the effectiveness of rotational and stereoscopic display techniques as applied to practical applications in computer graphics. In the described experiments, depth perception was evaluated by examining accuracy in a 3D path-tracing task, with stimulus displays resembling the structure of cerebral angiograms. In the first experiment, task performance was determined without 3D enhancements, with either technique used alone and with both techniques combined. The results indicated that performance improved using either technique, however, performance with rotational displays was superior to stereoscopic displays, and performance was best when both techniques were combined. The results of a second experiment revealed that rotational displays were no better than stereoscopic displays enhanced with multiple static viewing angles. The experimental findings are discussed in terms of the visual information available using either 3D display technique as well as with respect to the hardware requirements of both display systems. The results are also related to the weighted additive model of depth perception.

Sollenberger, Randy L. and Milgram, Paul (1989): Stereoscopic Computer Graphics for Neurosurgery. In: Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction 1989. pp. 294-301.

An experiment is described, in which the practicality of using rotational displays and stereoscopic viewing for providing computer graphic depth cues, as a potential aid in stereotactic neurosurgery, was investigated. Subjects were required to detect connectivity of line segments within a complex three dimensional tree structure, possessing characteristics analogous to a cerebral angiogram. Results indicated apparent superiority of monoscopic viewing with interactively controlled image rotation over static stereoscopic viewing. Practical aspects of employing these technologies, both separately and in combination, are reviewed.
