Werkhoven, P.J. (author), van Erp, J.B.F. (author), Philippi, T. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)Irrelevant events in one sensory modality can influence the number of events that are perceived in another modality. Previously, the underlying process of sensory integration was studied in conditions in which participants knew a priori which sensory modality was relevant and which was not. Consequently, (bottom-up) sensory interference and (top...article 2009

de Vries, S.C. (author), van Erp, J.B.F. (author), Kiefer, R.J. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)This laboratory study examined the possibility of using a car seat instrumented with tactile display elements (tactors) to communicate directional information to a driver. A car seat fitted with an 8 by 8 matrix of tactors embedded in the seat pan was used to code eight different directions.Localization performance (speed and accuracy) was...article 2009

(author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author), DenV (author)Helicopter landings are more challenging in 'brownout' conditions, in which sand and dust is stirred up by the rotary wing aircraft, obscuring visibility. Safe brownout landings require new sensor and display technologies to provide the pilot with information on helicopter motion. In this respect tactile displays are promising: The pilot can...conference paper 2008

Philippi, T. (author), van Erp, J.B.F. (author), Werkhoven, P.J. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)In temporal numerosity judgment, observers systematically underestimate the number of pulses. The strongest underestimations occur when stimuli are presented with a short interstimulus interval (ISI) and are stronger for vision than for audition and touch. We investigated if multisensory presentation leads to a reduction of underestimation....article 2008

Support is often based on mobile maps. People have different preferences for map orientations (heading-up or north-up), but map orientations also have different advantages and disadvantages. In general north-up maps are good for building up situation awareness and heading-up maps...conference paper 2008
