"Enhancement of Training Using Microdisplays."
| Research Work "Enhancement of Training Using Microdisplays." | |
| What is a "microdisplay"? It is simply a small liquid crystal display, which acts as a computer screen inside a head-mounted wearable computer. This head-set worn by the user in a natural fashion and allows them to engage in other activities. Information or instructions are displayed on a screen inside the headset.  Size compared to a coin |  Research Question-Given that these wearable computers are being used for training and retraining in the workplace,what previous human factor and cognitive psychological research can be useful in enhancing the usabilty of these systems? | Could the multimodal presentation of information on a head-mounted display enhance training using these systems? How can we manipulate text, visual stimuli and sound to best exploit the usability of this new technology? Can it be done with "redundancy", the simultaneous presentation of training materials in visual and auditory form?  |
 My own research work involves evaluating participants problems with using head-mounted displays in following instructions building abstract models out of lego bricks. I hope to test how multimedia presentation of information can be best used in these systems. | Below is one of testing booths I use in my lab. The hands of the participant are videoed from different angles whilst building the model. Their use of the computer software is also recorded. | The Research takes place at the "Epicentre" |
