Episode Description from the Publisher

Did you know the The Department of Defense Human Factors Engineering Technical Advisory Group is composed of 19 sub Technical Advisory Groups?One of those is the Controls and Displays SubTAG.This SubTAG aims to ensure that the development of advanced display and control systems for use by human operators is done consistent with the principles of human factors, with the intent of providing a means by which all DOD, NASA, and FAA personnel who are working in the area of displays and controls can maintain a high level of awareness of developments being made in controls and displays.This SubTAG defines displays as visual, audio, tactile, and other devices, which can be used to provide information to a human operator. Whereas controls include anything that allows for direct manipulation, neurological interfaces, ocular metrics, and voice.While there may be some overlap between areas of interest of this SubTAG and other organizations, the Controls and Displays SubTAG freely exchanges information with other organizations and attempts to cooperate in every way possible to mitigate overalap.The Controls and Displays subtag serves as a forum for the exchange of ideas and information about the latest work in displays and controls and provides support of research or development efforts which would be beyond the capacity of any individual sponsor. Additionally, this group will assist with the standardization of display and control characteristics where needed.
