Communicating Situation Awareness in Virtual Environments

摘要

This report documents the work conducted by the HIT Lab during a four yearproject titled Communicating Situation Awareness in Virtual Environments. The project was funded under the MURI (Multi-disciplinary University Research Initiative), and was intended as spin up funding to allow the Lab to achieve critical mass and momentum. As such, the goals of both the fund providers and fund recipients were successfully achieved. Over the course of the project over 30 experiments were conducted resulting in 76 publications. Support was provided for approximately 20 students, resulting in 9 theses and dissertations. A multi-disciplinary workshop was conducted, and there were active collaborations between researchers in this lab, with other labs, with government agencies and with commercial companies. The benefits of this collaboration are beginning to take effect. The focus of the research effort was tightened during the last year of the project to address five key areas. The results from experiments investigating four of these five areas are presented in this report, along with a cumulative list of all of the publications.
