6: Human-Centered Processes in Virtual Environments:
Methodologies and Real-Life Case Studies
Sunday, Half Day
1:30 – 5:15 pm
Room 007AB
Using recent case-study material from Virtual Presence
Limited and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(including space and defense studies, surgery, automobile
design, and ceramics), this richly illustrated course
demonstrates application of human-centered methodologies
in delivering usable, affordable, and extensible interactive
3D or VR solutions for prototyping and training applications.
Prerequisites
No prior experience in the field of human factors or
ergonomics. Those with some experience of introducing
VR into real-world applications, or those considering
or assessing VR technologies for their own organizations,
will acquire useful knowledge in this course.
Topics
Virtual reality, virtual environments, interactive 3D.
The pitfalls of "technology push." Human factors
issues ("remember the user"). Human-centered
design standards (NASA and international sources). Virtual
reality and human factors methodologies and "best
practices." US and UK evidence in support of human-centered
design. US and UK case studies (surgery, aerospace,
defense, automotive, engineering, ceramics, education).
The need for future research and development (human-performance
metrics, spatial and temporal situation awareness, collective
training, transfer of training).
