In this research effort, we are investigating various issues related to visual feedback and operator performance when controlling a teleoperated vehicle in a remote environment. Because these human factor issues are difficult to test in a real teleoperation environment, computer modeling has been used to simulate the dynamics of a remote vehicle. The real-time computer simulation also provides a visual feedback display to the operator, who manually controls the motion of the vehicle. The primary interface issue investigated is the format of the remote vehicle image. The operator views a real-time display of the environment as viewed from the vehicle, as if there was a camera mounted on the front of the vehicle. Display configurations which are being investigated include a video monitor display, a head-mounted stereoscopic display, and a head-mounted stereoscopic display with head-tracking, which provides an isomorphic transformation between the orientation of the operator's head and the direction of view 'out of' the remote vehicle.
