NMR Display Prototype Experiment Results. Volume 1

Abstract

An experiment was conducted to determine if air traffic controllers can perform as effectively using single intensity plasma panel displays with data discriminators as they can with monochrome multi-intensity CRT displays. Response times and error rates of 12 active duty, fully qualified USAF air traffic controllers (subjects) were used as measures of performance. After the results were compared, subject response times on the plasma display were found to be equal to those on the CRT. Under certain overlay conditions, error rates on the plasma display were significantly less than those on the monochrome reddish-orange CRT display. A study comparing operator performance between the plasma display and a monochrome green CRT display was also conducted. Subjective ratings on various plasma and CRT display characteristics ranged from neutral to good. One hundred percent of the subjects found both plasma and CRT displays acceptable.
