Chapter 6 Human-machine system interface design Outlines Visual Display Auditory Display Tactile display 触觉显示 Controls and Data Entry Devices Types of Displays Visual display Auditory display Tactile display 触觉显示 Different situation to the different types of displays, how? 6.1 Visual displays Good visibility - you can easily and clearly see the displays. To attract attention visually, the display must be within your field of vision and should flash or change in some other way. Humans are very good at detecting movement. Good comprehension - you can make the correct decisions and control actions with minimum effort and delay, and with as few errors as possible, because you have understood the displayed information. Good compatibility - the display can be used easily with others and you are not confused by any different types used. It can easily be seen and understood in the space and lighting in which it is used. The movement and layout of displays matches those of their controls. Types of visual display Uses of Dynamic Information Note：When designing or selecting a display, it is critical that all the information needs of the user be fully understood. Question 1: Drivers do not need to make a quantitative reading of the exact engine temperature. So do we need a engine-temperature gauge in a car? 6.1.1 Quantitative visual displays 1. Basic design of quantitative displays Fixed scale with moving pointer Moving scale with fixed pointer Digital display Comparison of Different Designs 6.1.2 Qualitative visual displays 1 Quantitative Basis for Qualitative Reading For determining the status or condition of the variable in terms of each of a limited number of predetermined range; (e.g. cold, normal, or hot) For maintaining some desirable range of approximate values; (e.g. 50-55km/h) For observing trends, rates or changes, etc. (the rate of change in altitude of an airplane) 6.1.3 Check Reading In effect, check reading is a special case of qualitative reading, the n
