Abstract
There is an increasing trend to use computer display systems as the primary “window” by which users see and interact with complex dynamic processes (e.g., air traffic control; computerized control rooms for process control). These kinds of applications offer special challenges to the design of computer based display systems. In particular, the large scope of these applications necessitates large display structures involving thousands of displays. Further, the dynamic nature of the tasks mean that users need to be able to move rapidly through the display structure to keep pace with temporally evolving situations and to be able to respond to new events as they occur. As a result, special display navigation challenges arise in computer based display systems for monitoring and controlling dynamic processes.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
