Abstract

We studied orientation-dependent vibrotactile feedback (VF) as a countermeasure to spatial disorientation (SD) in spaceflight analog environments. In Experiment 1, participants balanced themselves in a dynamic motion simulator in Earth (1-g), Martian (0.38-g), Lunar (0.166-g) and 0-g analog conditions. One group (n = 13) had VF and the Control group (n = 13) did not. As g-level decreased, attitude control and subjective confusion worsened, for both groups. An exponential model fit both groups. The Control group became significantly worse than its 1-g baseline at 0.61 to 0.23-g. Based on these model fits, the VF group performed slightly better than Controls in 1-g, significantly better between 0.82 and 0.10-g, and their performance advantage increased towards 0-g. However, both groups reported similar levels of confusion in their sense of angular position and velocity across all g-levels. The VF group reported high trust in VF cueing as g-level decreased, despite their worsening performance and subjective confusion, highlighting a dissociation between the effectiveness of VF and cognitive trust in VF. Despite its benefits during hypo-g exposures, VF did not fully restore 1-g proficiency. In Experiment 2, we assessed whether a new group (n = 13) of participants given extended exposure with VF in the Lunar analog condition would achieve 1-g level performance. Initial performance and confusion deteriorated significantly relative to 1-g but then improved significantly until 1-g baselines were restored for most measures. However, signatures of SD, including attitude drift and positional confusion were still present. These results suggest that VF potentially would enhance dynamic vehicle control in spaceflight but may not fully eliminate SD.

振动触觉反馈对不同模拟g水平平衡时表现、感知和信任的影响。
研究了方向相关的振动触觉反馈(VF)作为航天模拟环境中空间定向障碍(SD)的对策。在实验1中,参与者在地球(1克)、火星(0.38克)、月球(0.166克)和0克模拟条件下的动态运动模拟器中保持平衡。一组(n = 13)有VF,对照组(n = 13)没有。随着g水平的降低,两组的态度控制和主观困惑都恶化了。指数模型适合这两组。对照组在0.61至0.23 g时明显低于1 g基线。根据这些模型拟合,VF组在1 g时的表现略好于对照组,在0.82和0.10 g之间表现明显好于对照组,并且在0 g时表现优势增加。然而,两组人在所有g水平上的角位置和速度感上的困惑程度相似。当g水平下降时,VF组对VF提示的信任度较高,尽管他们的表现恶化和主观混乱,突出了VF有效性与VF认知信任之间的分离。尽管它在低g暴露中有好处,但VF并不能完全恢复1 g水平。在实验2中,我们评估了一组新的参与者(n = 13)在月球模拟条件下长时间暴露于VF是否能达到1g水平的表现。相对于1-g,最初的表现和混乱程度显著恶化,但随后显著改善,直到大多数措施恢复1-g基线。然而,SD的特征,包括姿态漂移和位置混淆仍然存在。这些结果表明,VF可能会增强航天飞行器的动态控制,但可能不会完全消除SD。
