Abstract

This paper describes a research program conducted to determine the feasibility of providing useful angular onset-motion information via a broad-area tactual seat-pan display. The experiment was designed to evaluate the utility of the display as a training device as well as its efficacy for imparting motion information. The results indicate that, with proper attention given the drive law, the tactual display can elicit both performance and control behavior indistinguishable from that observed in a whole-body motion environment. Unfortunately, the training transfer results were not as encouraging. These results indicated that the seat-pan display as used in this study was not adequate for training naive subjects to properly interpret and use the motion information available in a whole-body motion environment.
