Outline
• The ANIMS project: why, who?
• ANIMS Phase 1
• ANIMS Phase 2
• Available results
• Remaining work
3 CARE-INO Workshop 6th Dec 2005
ANIMS: why?
“Improving the efficiency and safety of ATM user interfaces with visual
animations and sound”
More efficient interfaces through better– communication from machine to user– communication between users
4 CARE-INO Workshop 6th Dec 2005
ANIMS: who?
• Eurocontrol– Project steering– ATC & HMI experts
• IntuiLab– HMI and Human-factor centre of expertise (R&D) – ATC background
• Intactile Design– graphical and sound designers for HMIs
• Domain experts– Human-factors experts (Eurocontrol, CENA)
5 CARE-INO Workshop 6th Dec 2005
ANIMS: Phase 1
• Year 2004
• State of the art – Animation: definitions, models, techniques, typical uses,
human factors
– Sound: definition, typical uses, human factors
• Five ATC scenarios and five corresponding demonstrations

Alarms differentiation(STCA&TCAS)
Reduce cognitive load(Watermarking)
Reducing information overload (Line0)
Notification of changes(flight sequence)

7 CARE-INO Workshop 6th Dec 2005
ANIMS Phase1 conclusions
• Animations and sound are powerful– Several applications to improve situation
awareness
• New design spaces: – Many possible animations types – ATC relevant sounds
• Storyboards for prototyping and describing animation and sound
8 CARE-INO Workshop 6th Dec 2005
Open questions...
• Benefits are intuitive, not proven
• From storyboards to specifications?
• Implementation, architecture, retrofit?
• Better understanding of sound design needed– Design dimensions– Design elements and context
• Reusable designs patterns for animations in ATC?
9 CARE-INO Workshop 6th Dec 2005
Stakes for Phase 2
• Formally assess human-factor benefits of animations and sounds
• Be ready to develop such interfaces– From definition phases…– … to operational development
10 CARE-INO Workshop 6th Dec 2005
ANIMS: Phase 2
• Years 2005 and 2006
• Objective 1: Specification and tools
– How to specify animations and inclusion of sound in animations (2005)
– propose animation development tools (2006)
• Objective 2: Experiments
– assess the benefits of animations and sounds in user interfaces
Obj1

11 CARE-INO Workshop 6th Dec 2005
Specification Method
• Propose methods and techniques to share animations and sound specifications between designers and developers
• Progression:– Method for animation only– Applied by motion designers– Integration of sounds in specification of animation

13 CARE-INO Workshop 6th Dec 2005
Specification method Proof of concept
• Applied on
3 examples:
– specified by designers
– implemented by
programmers
Obj1
14 CARE-INO Workshop 6th Dec 2005
Specification Method Integration of sound
• Sounds in animations:– Opening, sustaining, closing – Restricted to pre-recorded sound
• Add-ons (objects, sequencing, storyboarding)
Starts
Plays
Stops
Obj1
15 CARE-INO Workshop 6th Dec 2005
Available results
• Specification method for animation and sound
• Will be used to specify the conditions of the experiment– Animation only– Animation + sound
• …may need wider validation
Obj1
16 CARE-INO Workshop 6th Dec 2005
Experiments
• Assess human-factors benefits of animation and sound
– Formally
– In complex animated interfaces
– In credible experimentation context

Animation Design
• Problem:– Code object type or group objects
• using colors (flight status)• using animations (alerts)
– Avoid “Christmas tree effect”
• Solution: Structure animated displays by giving a personality to graphical objects

Set of isolated animations
• Entrance of a graphical object in the scene

• Result analysis and conclusions
32 CARE-INO Workshop 6th Dec 2005
Other perspectives• Sound: extract isolated typical ATC sounds
– Recreate any ATC room atmosphere
– Simulate unexpected situations
• Animation:
– Assess benefits of animation on single user and group performance
– Role of animations in direct manipulation
