Evaluation of Human Encoding Performance with Varied Display Media

Abstract

The experiment measured the time within three milliseconds accuracy, required for a complex systems operator to encode information commonly presented by systems hardware displays. The categories of parameters to be researched included the following: symbology, size of font, numbers, letters, colors, words, orientation of pointers, and speed of eye movement. The data is required to enhance the capability of Hardware/Systems Simulation of current interest to the Naval Air Development Center. Twenty Naval Aviation officers were used in an Order-Free Latin Square design. Encoding times for individual variables were from .092 second for single numbers to .942 second for four letter words.
