“…For example, Smallman et al [7] showed that visual search was faster with 2D air traffic control displays. Van Orden and Broyles [14] found that 2D displays were as good as or better than 3D displays for aircraft speed and altitude judgments, but 3D volumetric displays were best for collision avoidance tasks. Park and Woldstad [5] reported that 2D and 3D displays were equally good for telerobotic positioning, provided the 3D displays were enhanced by extending reference lines from the face of the robot gripper.…”

Abstract-We describe a series of experiments that compare 2D displays, 3D displays, and combined 2D/3D displays (orientation icon, ExoVis, and clip planes) for relative position estimation, orientation, and volume of interest tasks. Our results indicate that 3D displays can be very effective for approximate navigation and relative positioning when appropriate cues, such as shadows, are present. However, 3D displays are not effective for precise navigation and positioning except possibly in specific circumstances, for instance, when good viewing angles or measurement tools are available. For precise tasks in other situations, orientation icon and ExoVis displays were better than strict 2D or 3D displays (displays consisting exclusively of 2D or 3D views). The combined displays had as good or better performance, inspired higher confidence, and allowed natural, integrated navigation. Clip plane displays were not effective for 3D orientation because users could not easily view more than one 2D slice at a time and had to frequently change the visibility of individual slices. Major factors contributing to display preference and usability were task characteristics, orientation cues, occlusion, and spatial proximity of views that were used together.

“…In 1999, Van Orden and Broyles compared four types of displays: 2D top-down displays (PVDs), perspective 3D displays, stereo 3D displays, and volumetric displays (laserbased) [67]. For a series of tasks, such as velocity assessment, altitude judgement, vectoring and collision avoidance, performance with the bi-dimensional display was at least as good as with the others display formats.…”

On the history and prospects of three-dimensional human–computer interfaces for the provision of air traffic control services

This paper is an essay on the history and prospects of three-dimensional (3D) humancomputer interfaces for the provision of air traffic control services. Over the past twenty-five years, many empirical studies have addressed this topic. However, the results have been deemed incoherent and self-contradictory and no common conclusion has been reached.To escape from the deadlock of the experimental approach, this study takes a step back into the conceptual development of 3D interfaces, addressing the fundamental benefits and drawbacks of 3D rendering. Under this light, many results in the literature start to make sense and some conclusions can be drawn. Also, with an emphasis on the future of air traffic control, this research identifies a set of tasks wherein the intrinsic weaknesses of 3D rendering can be minimized and its advantages can be exploited. These are the ones that do not require accurate estimates of distances or angles. For future developments in the field of 3D interfaces for air traffic control operators, we suggest focusing on those tasks only.

“…This can be effectively supported by the usage of three-dimensional displays (Van Orden and Broyles, 2000). For three-dimensional visualization, stereoscopic displays (Halle, 1997) or volumetric displays can be used.…”
