The Transportation Research Group (TRG) is looking participants to take part in a study to determine the effectiveness of new User Interfaces (UIs) for submarine control rooms. Individuals can take part and will be organised into a team of six people by the research team, or can participate as part of an existing team of six people.
Participants will be invited to a state-of-the-art submarine simulator on Highfield Campus to complete a number of tasks, representative of those completed by submariners.
You will be required to attend the facility for two consecutive days. Refreshments will be provided throughout the day and participants will be given £35 per day for participating in the study. Time slots are Mon-Tues, Weds-Thurs, however we may be able to arrange a Fri-Sat session.
The study is expected to run from 13.06.2022 to 31.08.2022 and has received ethical approval from the University of Southampton Research Ethics Committee (Protocol No: 10099.A3) and MODREC (Protocol No: 2056/MODREC/21). Due to security requirements, participants are required to be a national of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland or the Commonwealth. Additionally, participants must have normal or correct to normal vision.
If you are interested in taking part send an email to Sophie Hallam (Research Technician; [email protected]).
