Outline

• The ANIMS project: why, who?• ANIMS Phase 1• ANIMS Phase 2• Available results• Remaining work

ANIMS: why?

“Improving the efficiency and safety of ATM user interfaces with visual

animations and sound”

More efficient interfaces through better– communication from machine to user– communication between users

Page 4: CARE-INO ANIMS: Animation and Sound in ATC Human Machine Interfaces

ANIMS: who?• Eurocontrol

– Project steering– ATC & HMI experts

• IntuiLab– HMI and Human-factor centre of expertise (R&D) – ATC background

• Intactile Design– graphical and sound designers for HMIs

• Domain experts– Human-factors experts (Eurocontrol, CENA)

ANIMS: Phase 1

• Year 2004• State of the art

– Animation: definitions, models, techniques, typical uses, human factors

– Sound: definition, typical uses, human factors

• Five ATC scenarios and five corresponding demonstrations

ANIMS Phase1 conclusions

• Animations and sound are powerful– Several applications to improve situation

awareness

• New design spaces: – Many possible animations types – ATC relevant sounds

• Storyboards for prototyping and describing animation and sound

Page 8: CARE-INO ANIMS: Animation and Sound in ATC Human Machine Interfaces

8 CARE-INO Workshop 6th Dec 2005

Open questions...

• Benefits are intuitive, not proven

• From storyboards to specifications?

• Implementation, architecture, retrofit?

• Better understanding of sound design needed– Design dimensions– Design elements and context

• Reusable designs patterns for animations in ATC?

Page 9: CARE-INO ANIMS: Animation and Sound in ATC Human Machine Interfaces

9 CARE-INO Workshop 6th Dec 2005

Stakes for Phase 2

• Formally assess human-factor benefits of animations and sounds

• Be ready to develop such interfaces– From definition phases…– … to operational development

Page 10: CARE-INO ANIMS: Animation and Sound in ATC Human Machine Interfaces

ANIMS: Phase 2• Years 2005 and 2006

• Objective 1: Specification and tools

– How to specify animations and inclusion of sound in animations (2005)

– propose animation development tools (2006)

• Objective 2: Experiments

– assess the benefits of animations and sounds in user interfaces

Specification Method

• Propose methods and techniques to share animations and sound specifications between designers and developers

• Progression:– Method for animation only– Applied by motion designers– Integration of sounds in specification of animation

Specification method Proof of concept

• Applied on 3 examples:

– specified by designers

– implemented by

programmers

Obj1

Page 14: CARE-INO ANIMS: Animation and Sound in ATC Human Machine Interfaces

Specification Method Integration of sound

• Sounds in animations:– Opening, sustaining, closing – Restricted to pre-recorded sound

• Add-ons (objects, sequencing, storyboarding)

Starts

Plays

Stops

Available results

• Specification method for animation and sound

• Will be used to specify the conditions of the experiment– Animation only– Animation + sound

• …may need wider validation

Experiments

• Assess human-factors benefits of animation and sound

– Formally

– In complex animated interfaces

– In credible experimentation context

Animation Design

• Problem:– Code object type or group objects

• using colors (flight status)• using animations (alerts)

– Avoid “Christmas tree effect”

• Solution: Structure animated displays by giving a personality to graphical objects

Other perspectives• Sound: extract isolated typical ATC sounds

– Recreate any ATC room atmosphere

– Simulate unexpected situations

• Animation: – Assess benefits of animation on single user and

group performance

– Role of animations in direct manipulation
