Multi-Media ISIS (Interactive Sound Information System)

The Interactive Sound Information System (ISIS) developed by the proposer has demonstrated effectiveness as a means of presenting information about noise management issues to decision makers. This project would create a prototype for a substantial upgrade of the current system; improving quality and usability of the system. It would incorporate animation and video capabilities needed to describe three dimensional problems such as are involved in flight operations. The user interface would be improved making it more graphical and intuitive. Surveys of existing and future user groups would assist in pinpointing needs and opportunities. The project builds from existing ISIS t echniques, adding off-the-shelf multimedia components. The work objective summarizes to "better presentations" with "less presenter effort".
