SpaceGraph is described as a new computer-driven display technology capable of showing space-filling images, i.e., images that are truly three-dimensional. This report details the findings on how this new technology can be used in, and in conjunction with, the Instructor/Operator Station (IOS) of a flight simulator. In current practice, the location, altitude, and flight attitude of a simulated aircraft are graphically shown to the instructor/operator on flat screens. This dimensionally-mismatched form of data presentation creates a greater workload on the instructor/operator who must integrate several flat presentations into a mental construct of performance in three-dimensional space. Such space-filling data should be shown with a space-filling display, now that one exists. Unexpectedly, student pilots were also able to use the display directly. As a training aid intermediate between 'flying' one's hands in the classroom and 'flying' the big simulators, it would appear to be a new kind of low-cost, part-task training vehicle. It offers the realism of computer-produced flight dynamics but with a view of the aircraft rather than out of the aircraft. (Author)
