Style guide for micro aerial vehicle operator machine interface design / by Ming Hou ... [et al.].: D68-6/025-2012E-PDF

Little research has been conducted to study desirable handheld interface design approaches for the control of Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs). To address this issue, Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) - Toronto performed a focus group study, literature reviews, a spiral development of three Operator Machine Interface (OMI) prototypes, and an empirical experiment that tested various display modes and command control input methods for MAV control. The results of these OMI design research efforts are summarized in this style guide, which provides a generic framework for handheld OMI development. Detailed design solutions will be developed using, in part, the criteria provided in this document. The MAV style guide: 1) Identifies assumptions regarding MAV use that may affect design decisions; 2) Defines the essential components of a handheld MAV OMI; 3) Outlines style guidelines common to OMI control elements; 4) Outlines style guidelines common to OMI displays; and 5) Identifies ideal interaction response times for OMI functions. It is assumed that the major components of an OMI will include manual controls and a touch screen with a diagonal dimension of approximately nine inches. However, as new technologies and displays are developed these guidelines may change due to the evolving design and functionality requirements of MAV systems.
