 | An experimental study is described which involves two types of haptic sensory information and its impact on the ability of the human operator to perform a target tracking task. A principal termed, "stochastic resonance was applied to design the haptic interface to enhance the operator's sense of presence. In essence, the way that stochastic resonance works, is to provide a sufficiently small amount of noise into a nonlinear system in ... |

| An experiment was conducted in which subjects had to land a simulated F-16 aircraft using a CAVE (Cave Automatic Virtual Environment) facility, a three-dimensional virtual environment room consisting of multiple mirrors, 3-D video- projected displays in a highly stressful environment. This performance study was accomplished when the six subjects had a haptic stick (force reflecting joystick) condition being either on or off. The tracking mission studied herein also had the ... |

|
| The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of providing target location information via head-coupled visual and spatial audio displays presented in adaptive and non-adaptive configurations. Twelve USAF pilots performed a simulated flight task in which they were instructed to maintain flight parameters while searching for ground and air targets. The integration of visual displays with spatial audio cueing enhanced performance efficiency, especially when targets were most difficult ... |

|
| Pilots from three NATO countries participated in simulated air combat scenarios in which they either flew a conventional cockpit, consisting of F-16/ F-15 type cockpit displays, or a virtually-augmented cockpit, consisting of advanced head down/head up displays, helmet mounted displays/trackers, 3 dimensional auditory displays, and haptic displays. Pilots flew simulated air intercept missions against a four-ship ground attack group supported by two air to air adversary fighters. The pilot flying ... |

|
| The influence of moving auditory stimuli on visual apparent motion perception was empirically investigated. The experiments investigated perceptual organization of visual stimuli driven by inter-stimulus interval (ISI) and angular extent in the presence of moving and non-moving auditory stimuli. Characteristics of, and refinements to, a new model of visual-auditory apparent motion perception are described. Dynamic characteristics of an auditory localizer, which was used in a large portion of the work, ... |

|
| The current research was conducted to evaluate the effect of employing multi-sensory displays for fighter aircraft cockpit on the performance of a simulated air combat task. Each of four experienced U.S. Air Force F-16 pilots flew twelve simulated missions which required them to locate and destroy four enemy bombers whose flight path was pre-programmed. Simultaneously, two other pilots were assigned to auxiliary cockpits in the laboratory and flew enemy fighter ... |
