7 2 discussion display clutter
Digital control stations (e.g., airliner cockpits, nuclear power plants, intensive care units) use large screens that hold multiple displays simultaneously. Some human factors specialists and users of the equipment claim there is a problem with clutter – excessive display information that can be distracting or disorienting – and that it impedes efficient comprehension. Explain whether you believe this plethora of information available is necessary and should remain as designed, or whether operators should have the option of reducing what is available on the displays to enable improved comprehension. Describe the benefits and disadvantages for your point of view. Consider that these workstations may have multiple operators using the same system. Provide at least one scholarly source to support your position. APA format 500 words
