Abstract:

This paper assess the effects of keystroke interaction and multimodal interaction on task performance and cognitive load with a cooperative operation interface of manned/unmanned aerial vehicle, as well as to match the optimal interactions for different inter-window operating behaviors. The experiment tests the behavioral indicator, eye movement data and subjective evaluation of participants using keystroke interactions and multimodal interactions (touch gestures, voice commands, and touch gesture-voice combinations) for each of the three types of basic inter-window operating behaviors tasks. The results show that multimodal interactions significantly outperform keystroke interactions. Among the different inter-window operating behaviors, the optimal interaction for window switching behavior is touch gesture-voice combined interaction, and the optimal interaction for moving window and closing window behavior is touch gesture interaction. The experimental results validate the advantages of multimodal interaction and provide a reference for the inter-window interaction design of other complex information system interfaces.

Key words: manned/unmanned aerial vehicle, cooperative operation interface, multimodal interaction, keystroke interaction, inter-window operation
