A range of technical solutions pose great demands on the users' attention. In particular, this is the case in the process industry, air traffic management, and crisis management.

What are good working conditions when attention has to be divided between multiple tasks? It is important to try out attention demanding solutions with real users before launch.

Projects

BRIDGE (2011-2014). The goal of the BRIDGE project is to increase safety of citizens by developing technical and organisational solutions that significantly improve crisis and emergency management.
SESAR (2010-1013). Joint undertaking for development of the future European air traffic management system. The SINTEF HCI group contributes human factor competency.
EMERGENCY (2009-2012). Development of solutions for personnel arriving first at the scene of an accident (”first responders” )
MakeSense (2009-210). In this project we try out solutions for the central control unit at scenes of fire or accidents. We run lab trials of demonstrators and prototypes with potential users. A key project area is to study how sensor data may be integrated in 3D visualizations of the field.
