An Initial Evaluation of a Vibrotactile Display in Complex Control Tasks

Abstract

The initial phases of an interplanetary space flight can be expected to place the human under a considerable amount of environmental stress. High G-forces resulting from rapid acceleration, for example, are known to disturb a number of physiological processes. To the extent that such stressful conditions reduce the capability of the human to perform normally the functions required of him in the vehicle, ways must be found to adapt the machine components to human limitations under these adverse conditions.
