A Mobile Decision Support System for High Risk Environments: Built Using Heads Up Displays and Intelligent User Interfaces
Abstract
This thesis describes the design of a system for decision support on the individual and organizational level, intended for use in military and emergency agencies. The system is intended to contribute to the users' situational awareness and ability to solve given tasks cooperatively.This is achieved by considering the context, such as the user's spatial context and internal mental and physiological states.The system is based on an intelligent agent based user interface and heads up displays (HUD) in the form of wearable off the shelf hardware such as Recon Instruments HUD products.Research in relevant disciplines covering, among other things, themes like physiological responses to psychological states and limitations of human visual perception is used to support design decisions.
