Perspective Displays: A Review of Human Factors Issues

Abstract

Three-dimensional displays may be a more effective way of presenting spatial information to operators than conventional two-dimensional displays because all three dimensions of space may be represented in a spatial format Of several three-dimensional computer graphics systems that are currently available, perspective displays may be the most viable option for implementation at the present time. Previous research shows that perspective displays support better performance than plan-view displays on navigation, spatial awareness, and integration tasks. However, several issues need to be carefully considered and understood before perspective displays may be safely operationalised. This report reviews these issues; monocular cues for depth perception, multiple cue interaction, frame of reference, perspective geometry, and geometric and symbolic enhancement features.
