Human Factors Engineering need participants for research into use of touchscreens

The Human Factors Transportation Research Group is looking for participants to help them explore how well touchscreens can be operated in vibration conditions, typically occurring during flight turbulence.

The Group is collaborating on an industry leading, £26m project, with GE Aviation, Rolls Royce, BAE Systems and Coventry University, which has the potential to fundamentally change the way in which new technologies and systems are introduced to the flight deck.

Participants must be right-handed and not too sensitive to motion sickness, although the study can be stopped immediately if they start to feel unwell.

The experiments will take approximately 2 hours to complete and will be undertaken beween 17 – 21 July 2017. Participants will be paid £10 for their time upon completion of the study.

If you are interested in taking part, please email Louise Coutts to arrange a suitable time slot.
