Abstract
The purpose of this experiment is to investigate performance on a
perspective tactical display as compared with a plan-view display. The
perspective display represents information about altitude and attitude
directly, whereas the plan-view display necessitates the use of an
auxiliary information panel to show this information. Participants
performed tasks requiring them to identify all descending aircraft
displayed, with two different numbers of descending aircraft. Time to
completion and partial results were collected automatically for each
participant in a 2x2 within-subjects design. The experiment revealed
strengths and weaknesses of both types of displays: plan-view was more
effective for finding every descending aircraft, while perspective
view was better for quickly identifying most of the descending aircraft.
