This webinar took place over Zoom on Thursday, May 29nd, 2025. Our guest was Dr. Chris Wickens from Colorado State University.

Summary. Early Concerns about HUDs involved the focus of attention on low visibility unexpected hazards in the forward field of view. These concerns were well founded. But this attention tunneling also occurred with highly realistic head down displays. We then extend this research to the use of HMDs in safety critical environments, in particular for hazard attention cuing. The AI of machine learning is necessary to do this and the realism of augmented reality (AR) may trigger the automation bias when the AI is imperfect.

As a reminder, all our webinars are livestreamed and the recordings are made available online. They also do not require an HFES or ASTG membership to view. 

We are excited to showcase the interesting HF-related work going on in the aerospace industry, and hope you can join us for this unique experience! Also, if you or anyone you know is interested in being a guest in one of our future webinars, please reach out to rlopesrose@beta.team.
