Alpha-dot: a New Approach to Direct Computer Entry of Battlefield Data
ING FAMILIAR SHAPES IN A FORM THAT IS ALSO DIRECTLY COMPATIBLE WITH COMPUTERS AND OTHER BINARY DATA PROCESSORS. The technique can be used as the basis for a number of devices and procedures for the two-day communication of information between man and machine. Ten enlisted personnel entered both free form and formatted versions of simulated enemy situation spot reports. Learning time as well as rate and accuracy of data entry using the Alpha-dot keyboard was compared to operator performance using a standard typewriter. The Alpha-dot technique appears to have potential as a means to increase the speed, accuracy and flexibility of input of battlefield data by frontline observers. Functional specifications for a militarized field operable unit will be developed following field tests of a prototype unit. (Modified author abstract).
