Human-Systems Interaction Techniques to Increase Trust In Multi-sensor Systems

这个博士学位的目标，将与国际公认的人机界面技术团队在大学的工程学院内进行，是要了解在何种程度上人机界面（HSI）技术，硬件和软件可以利用信息转换成定量的信心在信息的定性水平的信任所感知的指挥官或主管未来的海上平台。这将使他们能够使用与他们今天做出这些决策的方式类似的认知过程来做出及时的，可能是关键任务的决策。博士将研究用于呈现来自多个机载和远程传感器系统（例如，作为无人平台的一部分）的数据，信息和情报的技术，以及这些因素如何影响运营商对这些数据的信任，以及任何其他信息或情报来源。博士将专注于信息呈现如何利用现代人机交互技术，如虚拟，增强和混合现实。

The objective of this PhD, to be undertaken with the internationally recognised Human Interface Technologies Team within the University's School of Engineering, is to understand to what extent human-system interface (HSI) techniques, hardware and software can be exploited to convert the quantitative confidence in the information into a qualitative level of trust in the information as perceived by commanders or supervisors of future maritime platforms. This would enable them to make timely, possibly mission-critical decisions using similar cognitive processes to the way they make these decisions today. The PhD will investigate techniques used to present data, information and intelligence from multiple onboard and remote sensor systems (e.g. as part of unmanned platforms), and how these factors can influence the trust an operator places in those data, and any other sources of information or intelligence. The PhD would focus on how information presentation can exploit modern human-system interaction techniques such as Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality.
