The Acceptance of Different Perspectives in a Synthetic Vision Navigation Display

Kurzfassung

An experimental survey measured the acceptance of perspectives in a synthetic vision navigation display. The developed scale of 11 items was found to be reliable. It measured to what extent the concept satisfies the requirements of commercial pilots for navigation. One underlying component indicated acceptance to be unidimensional. This dimension is interpreted as the component “performance expectancy” of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT). Differences in the average ratings were due to display manipulations in dimension, mode, and view. Both 2D Heading-Up views were accepted best, followed by the 3D ARC Heading-Up and the 2D ROSE North-Up view. Two other perspectives were accepted less. The characteristics in the acceptance go along with benefits and costs of principles from display design.
