Effects of visual perceptual asymmetries on performance while using an aircraft attitude symbology

In applying the Arc-Segmented Attitude Reference (ASAR) symbology in headmounted displays (HMDs), it is uncertain if there is an optimal position for the symbology within the display. Vision science literature regarding visual asymmetries suggests that performance may differ depending upon the combination of the location of this symbology within...

Helmet mounted display format and spatial audio cueing flight test

Historically, the objective of new technology development has been to enhance pilot performance (such as situation awareness) without causing problems such as Spatial Disorientation (SD). However, when improperly designed or poorly integrated, such technologies may actually reduce performance and increase the likelihood of unintended...
