Three participants found the idea very promising, the fourth was somewhat doubtful about its potential for success. On the supportive side, they stated that having
a fixed screen giving them a broad overview could be very useful: “ I have always
wanted something like this”. “ What would do the most related to HMI is to have
an overview display that is intuitive, others can be used for going i n-depth”. “ One
place to cast a glance and see that everything is ok.” The content should be fixed,
because “…when the alarms screams and it gets busy one needs to bring up screens
and information that covers the things you really want [to see]. There are more
alarms during bad weather and that’s when things go wrong”. They said that introducing a fixed display with information that is useful across most, if not all, situations would likely be possible to realize and that the m ock-ups presented seemed
like a good starting point for design. The participants thought that an overview
display would be possible to fit in most current vessel types, but more easily on rigs
than, e.g., supply vessels because of available space limitations. One stated that on
a rig he would gladly dedicate two 50 in. displays for overview information in addition to the three 2 7-in. screens he is currently using for DP. Another pointed to the
paper-based checklist that DPOs go through when starting their shift as a promising
starting point for content selection, stating that “i f I had a setup with all the things in
the checklist I would always have it up.” Some speculated that an overview display
might be useful not only for the DPO but for the rest of the bridge crew as well as for
visitors ( a possible measure for addressing the “ Private HMIs limits shared situation
awareness” challenge mentioned earlier). In this case, one might consider including
non-DP related content also to create a more comprehensive overview for several
