为了应对灾害、挽救生命、减少损失，必须有快速的反应时间，有关各方之间的良好合作和协调，以及先进的技术、资源和基础设施。目前对灾难的反应效率低下，有时组织不善。各种研究、研究和分析有助于澄清需求、了解故障并改进技术和组织程序。许多报告中提到的主要瓶颈之一是参与管理灾害的不同各方之间的沟通。缺乏对团队、人员和设施的位置的良好概述，或关于需要完成的任务的信息不足，可能会导致误解和错误。已经开发了许多指挥和控制系统来帮助决策过程，但这些系统通常需要训练有素的人员。本章讨论在一种新型硬件上完成的一系列可用性调查，这种新型硬件被称为“有形桌子”，用于在应急响应期间共享信息和决策。有形的桌子提供了一个简单的用户界面，可以用人的手指操纵。界面直观，易于理解和使用。本章介绍了这项技术，并讨论了已经对不同用户组进行的界面和可用性测试。这些测试的结果令人信服地表明，该系统非常适合广大非技术用户群体。
In order to handle disasters, save human lives, and reduce damages, it is essential to have quick response times, good collaboration and coordination among the parties involved, as well as advanced techniques, resources, and infrastructure. The current response to disaster is inefficient and sometimes poorly organized. Various studies, research, and analyses have helped clarify needs, understand failures, and improve technology and organizational procedures. One of the major bottlenecks mentioned in many reports is communication between different parties involved in managing a disaster. The lack of a good overview of the locations of teams, personnel, and facilities or insufficient information about the tasks needing to be completed may lead to misunderstanding and errors. Many command and control systems have been developed to aid the decision-making process, but these systems generally require well-trained personnel. This chapter discusses a series of usability investigations completed on a new type of hardware called a ‘tangible table’ for sharing information and decision-making during emergency responses. The tangible table offers a simple user interface that can be manipulated with human fingers. The interface is intuitive and easy to understand and use. This chapter presents the technology and discusses the interface and the usability tests that have been carried out with different groups of users. The results of these tests show convincingly that the system is highly appropriate for a broad group of non-technical users.
