Ecological Interface Design

Designing for Attention With Sound: Challenges and Extensions to Ecological Interface Design

“…Three principles underlie EID (Vicente, 2002;Vicente & Rasmussen, 1990. First, interface content should support knowledge-based behavior by reflecting the functional structure and inherent constraints of the work domain.…”

“…In other domains, EID researchers have used models of the first principles of the work domain to derive higher order properties from the sensed values and then to display the derived properties directly (Reising & Sanderson, 2002a;Vicente, 2002). In the OR, however, sensors are not as stable or as formally verified and validated as they are in process control.…”

“…There is much less research on the design of displays in other modalities, such as auditory or haptic displays. In this paper we extend ecological interface design (EID; Burns & Hajdukiewicz, 2004;Vicente, 2002) to the design of an auditory display. Although researchers have explored auditory displays for process monitoring (Fitch & Kramer, 1994;Gaver, Smith, & O'Shea, 1991;Johannsen, 2004;Rauterberg, 1997) and have adopted ecological approaches to understanding auditory perception (Gaver, 1993), auditory display design (Walker & Kramer, 2004), and alarm design (Stanton & Edworthy, 1999), there has been relatively little discussion of extending EID to the design of auditory displays.…”

“…April 2007 -Human Factors (Vicente, 2002;Vicente & Rasmussen,1990 or in guidelines for using EID (Burns & Hajdukiewicz, 2004;Reising & Sanderson, 2002a). In the fourth section we map information needs onto auditory dimensions to produce potential displays.…”

Using cognitive work analysis to explore activity allocation within military domains

“…Constraint based analysis, be it in the form of Cognitive work analysis (CWA; Rasmussen et al, 1994;Vicente, 1999) or Ecological interface Design (EID; Burns & Hajdukiewicz, 2004;Vicente, 2002;Vicente & Rasmussen, 1990, 1992 has a plethora of applications within military domains (e.g. Burns et al, 2000;Chin et al, 1999;Cummings & Guerlain, 2003;Jenkins et al, in press;Lamoureux et al, 2006;Lintern et al, 2004;and Naikar & Saunders, 2003).…”
