Electronic navigational chart generator for a marine mobile augmented reality system

“…The time was placed in the Bottom/Right part because this information has to be visible, to check the time if the harbour's entrance conditions depend on the low tide time table for instance. All GPS information were represented by text, the size of characters must also respects rules, the width might be between 50% to 70% of the height, with a distance of one meter the characters height has to be 6mm for instance and the font should not be sophisticated [8]. This size depends on the distance and resolution of the mobile display.…”

Visual Detection of Change Points and Trends Using Animated Bubble Charts

“…Theoretically, the red-green-blue (RGB) system enables colour coding of up to 2 24 groups. However, static bubble charts with more than eight colours are difficult to perceive (Gilmore et al, 1989), and animated charts are best perceived if no more than four groups of cases are simultaneously highlighted in the same display. Figure 2 shows how the interdependence between pH and salinity of seawater samples varied over time and between laboratories.…”

Human Factors Guidelines for Locomotive Cabs

“…Extensive research on keyboard design has yielded numerous design guidelines (DoD, 1989a;DoD, 1989b;Gilmore, Gertman, and Blackman, 1989;Lueder, 1986;Smith and Mosier, 1986). Some of these guidelines are presented here:…”

“…Finally, touchscreens should not be used if the task will require engineers to keep their arms up and unsupported for lengthy periods (Gilmore, Gertman, and Blackman, 1989).…”

“…The keyboard should be less than 30 mm. thick from its base to the home row of keys, and its slope should be adjustable between 15 and 25 degrees from the horizontal (Gilmore, Gertman, and Blackman, 1989). …”
