Command & Control 3D: Four desktops work spaces to prepare plans.
The final interface framework was influenced by human factors research and military doctrine for IPB (intelligence preparation of the battle space) and METT-TC (Mission, enemy, terrain, troops available, time, and civil considerations). The concept combines a decision support software framework with an earth system modeling application.
The gesture and touch enabled interface would allow the user to intuitively navigate the terrain, assets and overlays in a familiar way. Selecting a "Course of Action" overlay for a certain asset would then populate the 3D light-field display visualization with that content in real time. Individual asset heads up displays are also editable in the desktop to customize the visual experience had by each unique user.
