Using Visualization to Address Human Capacity Limitations, Syndicate 3

Abstract

An intriguing aspect of visualization as a technology is that it offers the potential to improve the functional capacity of the human operator. In this report, we discuss how this can be done in a variety of ways: by recoding information, by using multimodal displays, by training, or by using intelligent interfaces, agents, and ontologies. In doing so, we argue that the capacity of the human-machine system should be defined as distributed working memory at information shared between the human and machine when performing a dynamic task. We also discuss how the system design process can be structured to incorporate human capacity.
