  1. 2012 Summer Internship Kevin Toy, M.A., Intern LZ Technology Usability Testing and Analysis Facility (UTAF) NASA Johnson Space Center

  2. Overview • About Me • Background • Education • Interests • Starting off • Training • Literature review • Projects • Habitability DRP • Displays & Controls Interfaces DRP

  3. About me • Background • Born and raised in Houston, TX • 26 years old • Education • B.A. Psychology, Southwestern University (2008) • M.A. Applied Cognitive Psychology, University of Houston – Clear Lake (2012) • Hobbies • Soccer, Running, Golf, Bowling, Disc Golf, Table Tennis • Hiking, camping, travelling • Reading, watching movies • Attending art festivals/exhibits, concerts • Interested in: • Usability testing • User experience research • Human Factors Engineering • HCI

  4. Starting Off • Getting Situated • Email, Computer, Phone • NDC • SATERN log in • Etc. • Online Training • BCiWeb, SATERN, CITI Basic/Refresher course • Reviewed background materials • SHFE Hab evidence report • Extravehicular Activity (EVA) CONSUMABLES REPORT

  5. Habitability DRP – NEEMO Study results • Supervisor: Sherry Thaxton • Human Factors & Habitability Assessment Tool • Transcribed audio and video reports from underwater habitat • Took notes and observations from reports • Reports were evaluating tools that enable crewmembers to • record human factors and habitability observations near real-time • iSHORT (Space Habitability Observation Reporting Tool) • Looxcie • iPad

  6. Net Habitable Volume Summer Workshop - Deliverables • Assisted in the development/organization of a spreadsheet of NHV driving tasks from various resources • EX: Exercise activities, nominal ingress/egress, suit donning/doffing, food prep, etc. • Consolidates list of expected mission tasks from various studies and guidelines • Captures additional key information – e.g., does it need a dedicated space? • Assisted in the development/organization of a metrics list • Consolidates metrics/methods used in previous studies that may be useful in assessing whether a volume is adequate • Captures information such as appropriateness for use during conceptual design, pros and cons of the method, etc. • Assisted in the development of Process Flow for evaluating a habitat/vehicle volume • Provides high-level process flow chart, annotated with details related to the process, based on existing process documents • Adds emphasis to long-duration mission concerns • Adds emphasis to necessary inputs such as ConOps details or assumptions

  7. NHV Workshop (07/30/12 – 07/31/12) • Assisted in coordination of workshop • Took notes and audio recording of NHV splinter group • Incorporated additional feedback from workshop into deliverables • Drafted outbrief PowerPoint presentation

  8. Displays & Controls Interface DRP • Supervisor: Aniko Sandor • Developed a conceptual prototype for new Extravehicular activity (EVA) suit display • Goal: Develop visual design to gather feedback on data that should be included on the display with regards to consumables, how the data should be grouped, how the data should be displayed. • Focused primarily on consumables data (Oxygen, Battery, Carbon Dioxide & Water), but other important information also considered: • EVA time and time on task • Suit status data (suit pressure, suit temp, fan speed, etc.) • Communication status • Crew member (“Buddy”) consumables status • Caution & Warning (C&W) messages • Table of Contents for procedures • Electronic procedures

  9. EVA Consumables Display Prototype • First prototype developed based on previous studies and reports: • NASA. (2009). Orion Program Display Format Standards Document (Baseline, CxP 72242). Houston, Texas: Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center. • Sandor, A., Archer, R. D., & Boyer, J. (2011). Extravehicular activity consumables. Houston, TX 77058: NASA, Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center.

  10. EVA Consumables Display Prototype • Second iteration based on feedback from HFE on the Displays & Controls Interface team throughout several group meetings • Formatting changes • Additional information added • Table of Contents page added

  11. EVA Consumables Display Prototype • Electronic Procedures page (eProc) with two viewing configurations: • Default “Task” view (left) • “Figure” view (right)

  12. EVA Consumables Display Prototype • Two alternative layouts developed • (Left) consumables data displayed in squares, status information in right column • (Right) consumables data displayed in columns

  13. Discussions With Subject Matter Experts • Discussions with Subject Matter Experts • Met with five Subject Matter Experts to get feedback on the displays • Discussion sessions lasted approximately 1 hour, held in the Usability lab • Discussed information included, organization of the information and grouping of information • Recommendations included: • Grouping oxygen, carbon dioxide and metabolic rate • Include “Mission time” • Map with location of habitat and crew members • Present consumables data graphically • Distance measures data (i.e. distance from habitat) • Type of data displayed should change according to mission ops (e.g., suit port info, rover status info) • Include recording status data (Video, Audio, Pictures)

  14. Iterated Prototype Based on Feedback

  15. Displays & Controls Interfaces DRP – Next Steps • Integrate prototype with Legaci metabolic rate advisor • Provide realistic consumables data for EVA • Collaborate with Glenn Research Center (GRC) to evaluate prototype on various hardware displays • Head mounted display • Cuff display • Conduct studies to examine different control methods • Touch • Voice • Cursor control • Continue iterations of design based on future studies

  16. Multidimensional icon study • Supervisor: Aniko Sandor • Team members: Shelby Thompson, Ron Archer, John Pace • Assisted in development of Multidimensional icon study • Ran 28 participants in study • Goal: Investigate effectiveness of different representations of EVA consumables data for a team of four crew members • Next step: Data analysis
