ABSTRACT
These days considerable effort and financial resources are being directed towards the development of three-dimensional display technology. This paper identifies human factors issues that must be taken into consideration during perspective display design. First, the relative effectiveness of threedimensional (3D) perspective displays and two-dimensional (2D) displays for supporting performance on different types of tasks (navigation, airspace awareness, and tactical awareness) is discussed. Then the selection of optimal settings for perspective display parameters, for example, funne of reference and perspective geometry, is considered. The paper emphasises the importance of the need to evaluate and understand job or task characteristics prior to display selection and implementation.
