Abstract

Both spatial displacements and their visual consequences which allow analysis and control of trajectories are now an important research topic. This activity plays a large role in our everyday life and so it largely exceeds the preoccupations of cognitive psychology: for example, it poses some problems for the ergonomist who has to elaborate graphic job-aids for manoeuvring large ships.

We present 3 important aspects of our method:

  1. (a)

    A multi-disciplinary team (mathematics, software engineering, ergonomics, cognitive psychology) works on a collective project.

  2. (b)

    We have constructed a model of the mental (cognitive) processes involved in this task.

  3. (c)

    We have produced dynamic images in real time with a computer and graphic display; we have simulated some aspects of active movement in definite spaces.
