Providing elegant peripheral awareness

We first present in this paper why peripheral awareness is important in the context of Air Traffic Controller interfaces. Controllers are often working under a high working load, in collaboration with many other operators, and of course their work and tools must comply with high level of safety. Then we show how some interactions have been successfully enhanced in a prototype called DigiStrips, by focusing on peripheral awareness mechanisms as well as mutual awareness for controllers working closely together. We also present some work done in our research team related to peripheral awareness. KEY WORDS: touch-screen, animation, graphical design, feedback, gesture recognition, mutual awareness, electronic flight strips.
