Introduction to Investigating requirements for the design of a 3D weather visualization environment for air traffic controllers

This chapter involves a long-term investigation into  the  applicability of three-dimensional (3D)  interfaces  for  Air  Traffic  Control  Officers   (ATCOs).   This  investigation  is  part   of collaboration between  EUROCONTROL Experimental Centre (EEC)  and  the  Norrköping Visualization and Interaction Studio  (NVIS) of Linköping University in which  a test-bed was developed in order to evaluate the different features of a 3D interface for ATCOs. This test- bed, known as the 3D-Air Traffic Control (3D-ATC) application, provides controllers with  a detailed semi-immersive stereoscopic 3D representation of air  traffic.   Different aspects  of the  3D-ATC  application include 3D  visualization and  interactive resolution  of  potential conflict  between flights  (Lange  et al., 2006), a voice  command interface for visualizing air traffic (Lange  et al., 2003), and  interactive 3D weather images  (Bourgois  et al., 2005). Among these  various features, the 3D weather visualization was  chosen  as a first case for carrying out a more accurate users’ study. Weather  is  considered  as  one  …
