Use of heads-up displays, speech recognition, and speech synthesisin controlling a remotely piloted space vehicle

Experiments are reported in which heads-up displays and voice input/output were implemented on an experimental pilot console. These displays and controls were developed interactively during the simulation of remotely piloted space vehicles (RPSVs) and US Space Station operations. Demonstrated and evaluated were seven heads-up reticle displays, two heads-up data displays, selection of displays by voice command, use of voice command to call for range and rate data, and the voice annunciation of alarms. The simulation laboratory architecture is described
