Research into the accuracy of complex sensorimotor responses of operators to joystick-run technological equipment

This paper analyses the impact of visual information presentation methods on a human operator's control of remote technological objects, specifically focusing on the perception of information from electronic displays and the operator's immersion in a virtual environment, as it relates to the accuracy of joystick handle positioning. Experiments employed psychophysiological evaluations of accuracy and speed related to visual-motor tracking using joysticks. The findings revealed no discrepancies in the accuracy and speed of visual-motor tracking between groups participating in tests using information from electronic displays and those interacting with virtual environment. The paper provides recommendations on using virtual environments and displaying information on electronic screens for various operator tasks.
