Display type effects in military operational tasks using Unmanned Vehicle (UV) video images: Comparison between color and B/W video feeds

“…Focusing on the interaction between display type and feed color showed that B/W feed generated longer response times in the HHMD, and shorter ones for the 7" and for the 12" Tablet. As discussed in previous studies (Minkov et al, 2007, Minkov & Oron-Gilad, 2009, Minkov et al, 2010 using the HHMD may be more problematic in complex tasks as navigation and orientation. Here, the effect of feed color may be another evidence for the need of more naturalistic vision (e.g.…”

“…Recent studies aimed to investigate and map the factors that affect the use of imagery from UVs. Factors as UV type Clark, 2008, Oron-Gilad et al, 2011), display type, and type of task (Minkov, Perry & Oron-Gilad, 2007;Minkov & Oron-Gilad, 2009, Minkov et al, 2010 were among those factors. Another factor that may affect the ability and quality of UV video feeds utilization is the color and quality of the feed.…”

“…Thus, participants could not directly control the UV or its payload. The method was similar to the one described in Component 2 of Oron-Gilad et al (2011) with two modifications: two feed variationscolor and B/W were used, and the inferior head mounted display (HMD) was replaced with a Hand held monocular display (HHMD) used previously in Minkov et al (2009;2010). In total, three display types were examined ( Figure 1) using color or B/W UV feeds in, which were derived from two video feed sources (UAV or UGV) generating a (3X2X2) design.…”
