Project: Internal R&D for a smart sniper scope UI with a particular focus on negative learning impact with existing training.
DARPA, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, One Shot where the rifle scope aids the sniper/shooter.
Challenge, how to integrate the existing training approach to the device and deal with the limitations of the human operator.
My role: user research and interaction design such as conducting contextual interviews, validation testing and (SME) expert evaluations.
There are many factors (distance, temperature, wind, etc) that challenge the operator. For a given action the adjustment can be shown, but wind is a dynamic.
Contribution: definition of a new method to display the dynamic correction of wind and splitting of the center reticle to emphasize the lateral indicators.
