Background: In warehouse logistics, picking work comprises roughly 60% of the costs, emphasizing the need for efficiency (Matsumoto et al., 2019). Traditionally, workers utilize written instructions, which can be challenging for those less language proficient. The integration of augmented reality (AR) head- mounted displays (HMDs) may enhance accuracy and efficiency (Matsumoto et al., 2019). However, AR HMDs may come with some drawbacks—after extended use, some users report discomfort and decreased performance (Vidovič & Gajšek, 2020). Despite promising improvements in warehouse operations, HMDs’ long-term impacts remain uncertain (Fang et al., 2019). Furthermore, the influence of language proficiency on HMD effectiveness needs exploration (Murauer et al, 2018). In order to fully comprehend the potential and limitations of HMDs, further research is necessary, targeting effective strategies for implementation and optimal AR user interface (UI) design. Objective: This study aims to evaluate an AR HMD system against traditional methods, focusing on its potential to aid non-native English-speaking warehouse workers and boost efficiency and accuracy in picking tasks. Our goal is to ascertain whether an AR aid system, utilizing universal and conformal design principles, can yield superior results in user performance, usability, and situational awareness compared to written instructions. Method: We identified the language-related challenges faced by foreign workers through interviews. Guided by these insights and Ganapathy’s mobile AR guidelines (Ganapathy et al., 2013), we designed an AR solution with universal symbols and intuitive interactions. The AR solution was prototyped using Microsoft HoloLens 2. To evaluate user experience with the proposed system, we conducted a within-subject experiment in a controlled laboratory environment, comparing this AR headset instruction with traditional written instructions. We employed the situation awareness rating technique (SART) questionnaire (Taylor et al., 2017) and system usability scale (SUS) questionnaire (Brooke et al., 1995), along with performance measures, to assess the effectiveness of the proposed system. Results: Our study with 17 participants indicated no significant difference in task completion time between traditional and AR headset instructions. However, AR significantly reduced package identification time ( M=6.89, SE=0.40 vs. M=10.15, SE=0.61). Moreover, people with the AR instructions had no errors while with the traditional written instructions had a total of 2 errors. The proposed AR aid also resulted in enhanced worker situation awareness by allowing them not to divide their attention across job instructions and the dynamic warehouse environment ( M=2.41, SE=0.24 vs. M=3.70, SE=0.35). The AR headset was perceived as easier to use ( M=4.35, SE=0.16 vs. M=3.35, SE=0.17) and better integrated various functions ( M=3.94, SE=0.16 vs. M=2.70, SE=0.19), despite some participants reported a
背景:在仓库物流中,拣选工作约占成本的60%,强调了对效率的需求(Matsumoto et al., 2019)。传统上,工人们使用书面说明,这对那些语言不熟练的人来说可能是一个挑战。增强现实(AR)头戴式显示器(hmd)的集成可以提高准确性和效率(Matsumoto等人,2019)。然而,AR头显可能会有一些缺点——在长时间使用后,一些用户报告不适和性能下降(vidovikv &Gajš埃克,2020)。尽管有希望改善仓库运营,但hmd的长期影响仍然不确定(Fang等人,2019)。此外,语言能力对HMD有效性的影响需要探索(Murauer et al ., 2018)。为了充分了解头戴式显示器的潜力和局限性,有必要进一步研究,针对有效的实施策略和最佳的AR用户界面(UI)设计。目的:本研究旨在评估AR HMD系统与传统方法的对比,重点关注其在帮助非英语母语仓库工人和提高拣货任务效率和准确性方面的潜力。我们的目标是确定AR辅助系统,利用通用和规范的设计原则,与书面指令相比,是否可以在用户性能、可用性和态势感知方面产生更好的结果。方法:我们通过访谈确定外籍员工所面临的语言相关挑战。在这些见解和Ganapathy的移动AR指南(Ganapathy等人,2013)的指导下,我们设计了一个具有通用符号和直观交互的AR解决方案。增强现实解决方案的原型使用了微软HoloLens 2。为了评估该系统的用户体验,我们在一个受控的实验室环境中进行了一项受试者内实验,将该AR头显指令与传统的书面指令进行了比较。我们采用态势感知评级技术(SART)问卷(Taylor et al., 2017)和系统可用性量表(SUS)问卷(Brooke et al., 1995)以及性能指标来评估所提出系统的有效性。结果:我们对17名参与者的研究表明,传统和AR耳机指令在任务完成时间上没有显著差异。然而,AR显著减少了包装识别时间(M=6.89, SE=0.40 vs. M=10.15, SE=0.61)。此外,使用AR指令的人没有错误,而使用传统书面指令的人总共有2个错误。拟议的AR辅助还通过允许他们不将注意力分散到工作指示和动态仓库环境中来增强工人的情况意识(M=2.41, SE=0.24 vs. M=3.70, SE=0.35)。AR头显被认为更容易使用(M=4.35, SE=0.16 vs. M=3.35, SE=0.17),更好地集成了各种功能(M=3.94, SE=0.16 vs. M=2.70, SE=0.19),尽管一些参与者报告需要技术援助。结论:人体实验表明,本文提出的AR辅助系统在消除误差、提高易用性和增强仓库外籍工人的态势感知方面是有效的。这项研究还强调了以用户为中心的方法在不同背景下为用户利用技术的重要性。应用:我们的方案在研究范围之外具有广阔的应用前景。它的潜力扩展到各种安全关键领域,包括运输、建筑和军事行动,在这些领域,操作员对动态环境的认识至关重要(Kim等人,2020)。

Introduction: This pilot study investigated the association between trust in healthcare entities and exposure to emerging health misinformation in rural Nebraska. Methods: We surveyed 42 residents of Nebraska to assess their trust in healthcare entities (i.e., the healthcare system, clinicians, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and local health departments) and their exposure to emerging health misinformation. Results: Most participants with decreased trust in healthcare entities also reported exposure to health misinformation in the last week. Specifically, 62.5% of participants who reported decreased trust in the healthcare system, 75% in the CDC, 83.3% in the FDA, and 62.5% in the local health department also reported exposure to at least misinformation. Conclusion: The findings suggest that trust is a crucial human factor and is critical in exposure to health misinformation. This highlights the need to prioritize effective communication strategies to build trust.

Team skill metrics were operationalized by translating team constructs to metrics based on observable behaviors. As human coordination with autonomous agents turns to collaboration, humans may increasingly view agents as teammates. This transition will require agents to possess team skills and necessitate appropriate metrics for measuring team skills across human-agent and human-human teams. Thirty-eight teaming metrics were developed across five stages of teaming: preparation, execution, evaluation, adjustment, and team chemistry. Behaviors from 78 multiplayer gameplay videos were coded to establish which metrics could be measured via observable behaviors. An exploratory assessment demonstrated that the metrics captured teaming differences in team composition (human-human teams vs. human-agent teams) and three levels of team expertise. Results suggest that these team skill metrics could aid agent designers in anticipating the team dynamics of humans working with their agents.

The emergence of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) has seen the design of new electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft that will be utilized to serve the AAM market and associated use cases. Before operations commence, aircraft manufacturers must obtain a government-issued type certificate proving that the new aircraft meets prescribed safety levels. Human factors is an important aspect of AAM certification as the proposed designs have significant changes to how pilots will interact with the aircraft. Published certification standards create an opportunity for human factors researchers to generate meaningful ties between the research being conducted in their laboratories and the work being conducted in the industry to prove the effectiveness and safety of AAM systems. To facilitate this, the current effort identified human factors language used in the certification documents that is related to information processing on the flight deck and relevant to AAM aircraft. This language was then mapped to constructs and associated measures studied in the literature. This mapping can serve as a guide for human factors researchers to ensure the relevancy of the research being conducted for this emerging domain.

This study determined whether a passive shoulder-support exoskeleton would reduce biomechanical load in the shoulders during augmented reality (AR) interactions. Twenty participants were recruited to a repeated-measures laboratory study to perform AR tasks with and without a shoulder-support exoskeleton. The AR tasks consisted of two standardized tasks (omni-directional pointing and cube placing task). Shoulder muscle activity, postures, discomfort, and task performance (i.e., completion time) were measured during the experimental sessions. The result showed that the shoulder muscle activity (trapezius and deltoid muscles) and subjective shoulder discomfort were significantly lower with the exoskeleton compared to the no-exoskeleton condition (p < 0.05). The shoulder posture data showed that the exoskeleton use increased the 50th percentile of the shoulder flexion (p = 0.02). In contrast, the exoskeleton had limited effects on task performance (p > 0.83). These results suggested that a shoulder-support exoskeleton may have potential to reduce shoulder strain during AR interactions.

Efforts to optimize automated alarm systems have introduced the use of supplementary graphical proactive monitoring displays (GPMDs) that promote salient deviation detection alongside alarms. This study proposes the incorporation of newer, adaptable automation techniques, which afford operators control over an automated alarm’s reliability, in combination with GPMDs to further optimize these systems. A 2 (choice in reliability) x 2 (supplementary display) case-control match design was used to examine effects on task performance, operator mood, trust in automation, and subjective workload using an open-source version of the NASA Multi-Attribute Task Battery (OpenMATB). Results indicate that experimental participants rated the automation significantly higher on a trust in automation subscale than those in the control group. Few negative findings indicate it would be worthwhile to continue investigating the proposed system adaptations to determine if there are benefits to be gained from their application in realworld scenarios where risk of failure is especially dangerous.

The Lifting Fatigue Failure Tool (LiFFT) is an ergonomic assessment tool based on fatigue failure theory that uses the lower back load moment to evaluate the risk associated with multi-task jobs involving manual lifting. The current LiFFT tool does not account for the moment associated with flexing the lifter's torso. This study explores the incorporation of torso flexion into the LiFFT model while maintaining the relative simplicity of the original LiFFT tool. Automotive manufacturing workers (n=607) performing various tasks were included in the study. Non-manual material handling (MMH) tasks with no MMH load moment were considered "zero" risk. The moment associated with trunk flexion was considered if a worker flexed at the torso during non-MMH assembly tasks. The torso moment from bending was computed using the "average" worker height and weight for the data set used in this study. The proposed model yielded higher odds ratios than the original model.

For human autonomy teaming, information for promoting transparency could lead to information overload, negatively impacting performance and workload. This paper presents an empirical study investigating how different level of details (LODs) about the autonomy represented on the user interface would influence speed, accuracy, and workload. Specifically, we compared visualizations of a lost person model at four different LODs to aid in directing human and unmanned aerial vehicles searchers in search and rescue missions. The lowest LOD was found to support higher accuracy but at the expense of speed. The highest LOD induced the highest workload, while the other three LODs induced lower and similar levels of workload. The results indicate that the LOD in transparent displays could induce a speed and accuracy tradeoff.
