An innovative airport control tower concept based on the use of modern augmented reality technologies has been developed and validated by means of human-in-the-loop experiments in a simulated environment. An optical-based augmented reality interface underpins the proposed concept that consists in providing air traffic control operators in the airport control tower with complete head-up information, as opposed to the current mix of information retrieval through both head-up real view and head-down interfaces. Specific measurement of the time spent by the operator working in either head-up or head-down position, show that the proposal has a clear effect in stimulating the air traffic control operator to work in a head-up position more than in a head-down position, with positive effects on his/her situational awareness and perceived workload, especially when dealing with low visibility conditions operational scenarios.

已经开发了一种基于现代增强现实技术的创新型机场管制塔台概念，并通过在模拟环境中的在环实验进行了验证。基于光学的增强现实界面为提出的概念奠定了基础，该概念包括为机场控制塔中的空中交通管制操作员提供完整的平视信息，而不是目前通过平视实景和平视导航获取信息的混合方式。下接口。对操作员在头朝上或头朝下工作的时间的具体测量表明，该提案在刺激空中交通管制员在头朝上工作而不是头朝上工作方面具有明显的效果。位置偏低，对他/她的态势感知和工作量产生积极影响，
