In-simulator assessment of trade-offs arising from mixture of color cuing and monocular, binoptic, and stereopsis cuing informationThe use of monochrome Helmet Mounted Display (HMD) systems is becoming prevalent in today's complex flight mission environment. These HMD systems can provide stereopsis cueing as an almost natural byproduct for binocular helmet systems of an additional image generation source is provided. The addition of color cueing capability is much more difficult. The application of stereopsis cueing to advanced HMD and heads-down flight display concepts has demonstrated gains in pilot situation awareness and improved task performance. To provide stereopsis, binocular HMD systems must trade some of the total field-of-view (FOV) available from their two monocular fields to obtain a partial overlap region. The visual field then provides a mixture of cues, with monocular regions on both peripheries, and, in the overlapped center, a binoptic (the same image to both eyes) or, if lateral disparity is introduced to produce two images, a stereo region. The goal of this research was to assess the trade-offs arising from the mixture of color cueing and monocular, biocular, and stereopsis cueing information in peripheral monitoring displays as encountered in HMD systems. The accompanying effect of stereopsis cueing in the foveal display of tracking information was also assessed.
