Status Update of Alternative Control and Display Technologies, Volume 1
Abstract
This work was supported by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory, Human Engineering and Research Directorate (HRED) under the auspices of the Human Systems Information Analysis Center (HSIAC) Program Office, Contract No. SPO700-98-D-400l; Task No. 8027. This effort was designed to determine the status and availability of alternative controls and displays for implementation within Army ground-based and airborne systems. To that end, it provides a broad baseline of information on speech-based/auditory; eye- and head-based; gesture/tactile; and biopotential technologies. Where the literature was lacking, subject-matter experts were contacted to determine technology status and assess its relevance to the improvement of soldier performance. An Alternative Control and Display Technology Matrix was developed to compile and summarize the subject matter expert/source survey results. This matrix contains technology descriptions, point of contact and/or web source information, estimated technology maturity/availability level, and perceived benefits to the warfighter as stated in the technology description or subject matter contact results. In addition, web sites, papers, or other sources identified that may be of interest for further independent investigation are listed.
