A Software Testbed for Display Evaluation

Abstract

The purpose of this report is to make publicly available a software application testbed and its user manual that enable research on visual displays using a battery of tasks. The software currently employs two tasks, a multi-element tracking task and a cognitive vigilance task, which support research on attention and visual tracking. The software was developed for a multi-layer (depth) display, but also supports single or side-by-side monitors. The experimenter interacts with the software via standard dialog boxes which allows easy configuration the tasks and control of experimental parameters.
