displayed similarly to how the current distance panel is now displayed. This would make
toggling from a perspective view to a top-down view much more useful. The top-down view
would provide a view that shows the closest object to the robot on any horizontal plane,
whereas the perspective view would provide a volumetric presentation.
Sonar sensors are not reliable. They are good to have as backups, but when maneuvering in
tight areas, their fluctuations are unwelcome. Mounting Hokuyo lasers around the entire robot
would help to provide accurate data on all sides of the robot. The Hokuyo sensors are relatively
cheap and can sense up to four meters, which is more than enough range when, as mentioned
before, operators really only care about obstacles that are close to the robot.
A second study should also be conducted on interface version 3.0. This study should mimic
other USAR-style studies that have been performed, where the user searches a maze-like space
for victims. That way version 3 can be fully compared to the other interfaces in all the previous
studies.
