If the goggles could recognize individual ghosts, the display be improved with some information about this particular ghost-or its category-from a database. Context AwarenessĬontext awareness implies a more sophisticated system with image recognition and display capabilities. Could the paragoggles help draw attention to where on the view the PKE is most concentrated, and how those readings are trending? Of course this wouldn’t be so important when the ghost is actually visible, but if it could lead his eyes to where the ghost is most likely going to be, it would be more useful and save him even the microseconds of an eye saccade.Ī second aspect of context awareness is object or people recognition. We can make even bigger improvements by considering the other levels, i.e. In the augmented reality chapter of the book, I identified levels of awareness for these devices. The ectogoggles are an example of the simplest type, of sensor display, with the sweep giving an unfulfilled promise of the second type, location awareness. Lose the distracting blinking red light entirely. It draws attention at a time when the Buster’s eyes need to be on the view, and it’s just duplicating information already provided in a better way by the graph.īut we can do those improvements better.This puts the augmentation in the periphery. You could even lose the bar diagram-which requires looking away from the view-and replace it with a line around the view that changes color similarly.

Plus the blackbody radiation spectrum has a more physical reference and is therefore more immediate. I’d change the graph color indicating no-PKE to black or dark gray. Red often connotes danger, and really, if there’s no PKE, you’re safe from the supernatural.Have the numbers match the graph, or, if they’re actually measuring different things, put the LED display on the other side of the view.

Make the plan position indicator, you know, work.

The immediate improvements you could make to this as a “real” ghostbusting tool are fairly obvious: It hits this maximum about a half a second before the graph jumps to its max. There is a 7-segment red LED number display just below the graph, which you might think is a numerical version of the same data, but we only see it increment steadily from 03094 to 03051 during the first scan, then after a cutaway to Ray’s face, we see it drop to 01325 and continue to increment steadily until it hits 1333, where it remains steady and begins to blink. This is a special “max” mode that strongly draws the user’s attention.ģ. Note that the graph builds from the bottom until it hits maximum, when its glow slides to the top to fully illuminate only the uppermost block. The bar graph adheres to the basic visual principle of “up means more.” The bar graph is colored with a stoplight gradient, with red at the bottom, yellow in the middle, and a bright screen-green at the top. A bar graph on the left side that wavers up and down until Slimer is spotted, when it jumps to maximum. A plan position indicator (like what you see on a radar) sweeps around and around in the upper left hand corner, but never displays anything (even when Slimer appears.)Ģ.

Five outputs augment the ordinary view the googles offer.ġ. As he scans the room, we see a shot from his perspective.
