MIRCE Science Question: Digital or Analogue Visual Displays of Dynamic Information for Humans?

Abstract

as block Abstract Visual Displays of Dynamic Information (VDDI) represent the interface that machines use to communicate their dynamic functionability state to humans. This paper tries to address the question of the selection between the two main types of VDDI available, digital or analogue, and identify what some of the most important factors are that may affect this selection. In that aid the paper briefly covers how the displays and VDDI are classified, their uses and objectives, the factors that could affect the selection process and finally a comparison between digital and analogue VDDI. The quantitative assessment of the impact of VDDI on the human elements of functionable systems could be determined by making use of MIRCE Functionability Equation. It enables to predict the impact of each feasible options of VDDI on the expected work to be delivered by the system
