▪ A user’s performance and the underlying cognitive processes are affected by the workload level,
situation awareness, and task complexity, each of which can be optimized by the design of the
HMI.

What we can do
▪ Situation awareness means
▪ Being aware of what is happening around you.
▪ Understanding what that information means to you now.
▪ Understanding what that information means to you in the future.
▪ Designers and engineers form in their heads a different mental model of the
process than an operator.
▪ By understanding how operators select and use goals, designers can better
understand how information is perceived. Without understanding the user’s
goals on Situation Awareness, the information presented has no meaning.

Increasing Situation Awareness : What we can do
▪ Avoid only numeric value, even with a high and low value
the data requires processing.
▪ If it has to be a numeric value…
▪ Consider the units % of a tank rather than litres.
▪ Make the Font big enough to read easily.
▪ Make the Font color a different color than the text
labels.
▪ Don’t put values in fancy 3D sunken/raised boxes.
