The effects of 3D collocated presentation of visuo-haptic information on performance in a complex realistic visuo-motor task

Abstract

Ten operators had to complete a complex visuo-motor task in two extreme presentation conditions, 2D dislocated display and 3D collocated display. Using 3D collocated display operators had better total time performance as well as improved error time performance. In all conditions learning occurred. Error-time improvement following training in the 3D collocated condition carried over to a following 2D dislocated condition but there was no carry over following a block of 2D dislocated display. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
