Abstract

The Virtual Sky project attempts to investigate the applicability of three-dimensional stereoscopic display for AirTraffic Control. This investigation is quite complex in that it requires several disciplines to be studied in parallel. For instance, we decided to use a multidisciplinary approach, which is made of three related components: “Visualization”,“Interaction” and “Human Factors”. This paper describes the framework of the investigation and provides the analysis’details for each component involved. Moreover, we present some preliminary results involving Air Traffic Controllersand entailing their training with a special Interaction device.
