Loss of awareness in one’s immediate surroundings can have devastating results when navigating. For instance, military operators must often navigate in unfamiliar environments and must be able to detect nearby threats to survive. Visual displays such as paper or digital maps can draw visual attention away from one’s environment. We developed a navi...
Among many of their countless dismounted roles, U.S. Air Force Battlefield Airmen must navigate in unfamiliar environments with many potential threats while performing their mission objectives. The effectiveness of navigating with a map and compass is compromised in reduced visibility conditions, such as in fog or during nighttime operations. Moreove...
Mobile devices are rapidly becoming an indispensible part of our everyday life. Integrated with various embedded sensors and the ability to support on-the-move processing, mobile devices are being investigated as potential tools to support cooperative team interactions and distributed real-time decision making in both military and civilian applicat...
Given recent technological advancements in mobile devices, military research initiatives are investigating these devices as a means to support multimodal cooperative interactions. Military components are executing dynamic combat and humanitarian missions while dismounted and on the move. Paramount to their success is timely and effective informatio...
Waypoint navigation is a critical task for dismounted soldiers, especially when navigating through novel environments with potential threats. In these dangerous environments, the soldiers should have their “eyes-up” and “ears-out” scanning the environment for critical signals. Current practices for dismounted soldiers include the use of a compass a...
U.S. Air Force special tactics operators at times use small wearable computers (SWCs) for mission objectives. The primary pointing device of a SWC is either a touchpad or trackpoint, which is embedded into the chassis of the SWC. In situations where the user cannot directly interact with these pointing devices, the utility of the SWC is decreased....
Point to point navigation is a critical and demanding task for dismounted operators, especially while traversing hostile terrains. Visual displays such as a compass, maps, and global positioning systems have been the ubiquitous means of navigation and have proven to be effective; however, these tools require visual attention in an already visually...
Air Force Special Operation Command’s Battlefield Airmen (BA) work in physically and cognitive demanding conditions. They conduct asymmetric and irregular war operations that require advanced technologies to enhance situational awareness and battlefield effectiveness. Recent efforts have focused on providing tools for the Air Force Combat Controlle...

... En las búsquedas realizadas derivadas de un proceso de curaduría de contenidos educativos digitales en educación para la salud (Broussard, Radkins, & Compton, 2014;Burnett, Wischgoll, Finomore, & Calvo, 2013;Hughes et al., 2014;Rosas, Trujillo, Camacho, Madrigal, & Bradman, 2014;Vollum, 2014), se presentaron dificultades para encontrar y acceder a contenidos educativos en Atención Primaria en Salud (APS) que sean pensados, diseñados y elaborados por las comunidades. En las investigaciones citadas, se observa un enfoque educativo transmisionista (Diego, Fenández, & Badanta, 2017;Gubert et al., 2009) en donde el uso de las TIC está orientado a entregar información más no a desarrollar procesos reflexivos críticos. ...
... In addition, not all that provide this information used the same method. Previously used and reported techniques include (1) the method of bracketing, where participants over and under estimate a series of stimuli levels in order to " zero in " on equality (Galinsky et al. 1990; Stevens, 1959), (2) successively matching various stimuli (Brill et al. 2007Brill et al. , 2008), and (3) a simple match between two or more modalities (Bond & Stevens, 1969; Garcia et al. 2012). In many cases, however, these methods rely on unidirectional matches (e.g., from one modality to another, but not in reverse), and/or perform the task only once per modality pair. ...
Reference: Crossmodal matching
... Among the studies that do mention crossmodal matching, the studies either: a) provide little or no information on how matching was conducted or b) if it is reported, there is no consensus on how crossmodal matching should be conducted. For example, two studies incorporated visual, auditory, and tactile cues but asked participants to match audition to touch only (Calvo, Finomore, Burnett, & McNitt, 2013;Calvo, Finomore, McNitt, & Burnett, 2014) whereas another study had participants match audition and touch to vision (Brill, Gilson, & Mouloua, 2007). ...

... However, the authors conclude that any of the proposed conditions may be used for pointing and are advantageous due to the fact that the user does not have to hold a device in order to use the accelerometer method. Calvo et al. (2012) developed a pointing device called the G3, which is designed to be used by United States Air Force dismounted soldiers. The G3 consists of a tactical glove that has a gyroscopic sensor, two buttons, and a microcontroller attached to the index finger, the side of the index finger and the back of the glove, respectively. ...
... A division can also be made between local mobility aids (environmental imagers or obstacle detectors, with visual or ranging sensors) that present only the nearest surroundings to the blind traveler and navigation aids (usually GPS-or beacon-based) that provide information on path waypoints [12] or geographical points of interest [13]. While the latter group focuses on directions towards the next waypoint, meaning that a limited spatial sound rendering could be used (e.g., just presenting sounds in the horizontal plane) [14], the former group primarily provides information on obstacles (or the lack of them) and near scene layouts (e.g., walls and shorelines), supporting an accurate spatial representation of the scene [6]. ...
