Triggering adaptive interface content changes in mobile process operations

在与ABB加拿大公司的合作中，我们寻求增加对人类对自适应界面内容触发器的反应的理解。应用程序上下文是支持流程工业中的知识工作者的移动的应用程序和服务。我们将扩展生态界面设计框架，以确定适当的线索，触发界面内容的变化，基于工人在工作环境中的位置和状态的过程或自动化。通过实验，我们将研究自适应人机界面对任务效率，易用性，操作员接受度以及操作员专业知识的发展和维护的影响。这项工作将有助于学术界理解自适应界面的交互挑战、设计方法和性能优势。超过80%的预算用于培训高素质的人因工程研究和开发技能。该项目将向世界上最大的控制公司提供创新的移动的交互概念以及最终用户评估。加拿大的一系列自然资源和电力工业可以从新知识的部署中受益。

In partnership with ABB Canada we seek to increase understanding of human response to adaptive interface content triggers. The application context is mobile applications and services to support knowledge workers in the process industries. We will extend the Ecological Interface Design framework to determine appropriate cues to trigger interface content changes based on worker location in the work environment and the state of the process or automation. Through experimentation we will investigate the impact of adaptive human-machine interfaces on task efficacy, ease of use, operator acceptance, and development and maintenance of operator expertise. The work will contribute to the academic understanding of the interaction challenges, design methods, and performance benefits of adaptive interfaces. Over 80% of the budget is allocated to train Highly Qualified People in human factors engineering research and development skills. The project will deliver innovative mobile interaction concepts, coupled with end-user evaluations, to the world's largest controls company. A range of Canadian natural resource and power industries could benefit from deployment of the new knowledge.
