    Exploring former interaction qualities for tomorrow s control room design
    (Mensch & Computer 2012: interaktiv informiert – allgegenwärtig und allumfassend!?, 2012) Müller, Jens; Schwarz, Tobias; Butscher, Simon; Reiterer, Harald
    This paper addresses the lack of interaction qualities in control rooms by investigating the potential use of Hybrid Surfaces. As an emerging trend with strong real-world references, they offer the combination of both, the qualities of physical interaction and the potentials of the digital world. To determine their applicability in the given context we applied the theoretical framework Reality-Based Interaction in line with an expert focus group. As the primal finding tangible forms have aroused great interest as they embody the feature to express ongoing processes states and allow multimodal interaction.

    “I Want My Control Room To Be. . . ”: On the Aesthetics of Interaction in a Safety-Critical Working Environment
    (Mensch und Computer 2022 - Tagungsband, 2022) Flegel, Nadine; Pöhler, Jonas; Van Laerhoven, Kristof; Mentler, Tilo
    Control rooms are safety-relevant working environments characterized by complex IT infrastructure. With regard to the interaction of operators with control room systems, usability has been the major criteria for decades. However, there is increasing discussion about the extent to which the concept of user experience (UX) also plays a role in such safety-critical contexts. What is still largely missing is the application of concrete UX-specific methods in the context of control rooms. This paper explains how and with what results 9 operators used an interaction vocabulary focusing on pragmatic and hedonic qualities to complete the sentence “I want my control room to be. . . ”. Results first suggest that pragmatic, i.e., usability-oriented, attributions are of greater importance to operators. However, especially the more UX-specific terms of the interaction vocabulary, which were initially not found to be so relevant, yielded many valuable hints and inspiration for the future design of control room workplaces. By reflecting on the process of discussing the aesthetics of interactions in such a safety-critical working environment, recommendations are provided for considering UX in safety.

    Ein Multi-Focus-View Konzept im Kontext der Verkehrsleitzentrale
    (Mensch & Computer 2012: interaktiv informiert – allgegenwärtig und allumfassend!?, 2012) Schwarz, Tobias; Butscher, Simon; Müller, Jens; Reiterer, Harald
    Im Beitrag wird ein ganzheitliches Visualisierungs- und Interaktionskonzept für die Überwachung und Diagnose eines großen Straßennetzes sowie die Manipulation von Prozessvariablen im Kontext einer Verkehrsleitzentrale vorgestellt. Um das kooperative Arbeiten zu unterstützen wird das Konzept einer Multi-Focus-View in Kombination mit einer inhaltssensitiven Navigation verfolgt. Ziel ist es, die Navigation im Straßennetz, die Verfügbarkeit kontextsensitiver Informationen sowie die Manipulation von Prozessvariablen in Verkehrsleitzentralen zu verbessern. Weiterhin werden Ergebnisse einer Evaluation mit Anwendern aus Verkehrsleitzentralen vorgestellt, in der insbesondere die Auswirkungen unterschiedlicher Konzepte auf das Arbeiten in einer Mehrbenutzerumgebung untersucht wurden.

    Use Cases and Design of a Virtual Cross-Domain Control Room Simulator
    (Mensch und Computer 2022 - Workshopband, 2022) Mentler, Tilo; Flegel, Nadine; Pöhler, Jonas; Van Laerhoven, Kristof
    Control rooms are facilities of central importance in many safetycritical domains (e.g., rescue services, traffic management, power supply). At the same time, they are characterized by a complex IT infrastructure that can only be integrated and adapted to a limited extent for research activities in the area of human-computer interaction. Previous work has already shown that virtual reality simulators of control rooms can be a suitable tool for these purposes. However, the solutions to date are very domain-specific, which makes it difficult to transfer knowledge and also to test aspects that are not primarily domain-specific (e.g., multimodal forms of interaction). This paper presents the concept of a domainindependent control room simulator and the development status regarding two use cases (build mode, simulation mode). Finally, further development and use of this approach are discussed.
