The Transportation Research Group (TRG) is looking for 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 group 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 Monday – Tuesday, Wednesday – Thursday, however it may be possible to arrange a Friday – Saturday session.
The study, which started in June 2022 is expected to run to the end of November 2022, has received ethics 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]).
