The study on pleasure and ergonomics of cockpit interface design

Abstract

In this study, the semantics, psychology and ergonomics were first used to design and evaluate the cockpit interface .It can meet the pilot's need of safety, emotions and spirit and therefore improve the battle efficiency. The study used experienced-based methods to identify the pilot's pleasure during the operation. By analyzing many fighter games and the layout of display panel, icon,all kinds of forms,graph on experimental panel and using semantic coding to build a relationship between the gained pleasure level and human-machine interface, a method of transferring the emotion from visual figure to human-machine interface was found and it can be used to evaluate and design the ergonomics of the interface. It also found relation between pleasure and ergonomics.The study may provide reference for the Ergonomic interface design for cockpit and other custom devices,including development and remodel of the future plane,importante equipment and civil industry. ©2009 IEEE.
