VISUALIZATION VCR

• VIDEO CASSETTE RECORDER (VCR)
• RECORD MISSIONS AS PLANNED (COMBAT PLANS)
• PREVIEW
• PLAYBACK
• PAUSE
• FAST FORWARD / REWIND

SUMMARY

• VISUALIZATION MUST
• SATISFY THE USER / VIEWER
• NOT THE TECHNOLOGIST
• HELP THE USER / VIEWER
• CONTROL OVERALL INFORMATION CONTENT
• SELECT APPROPRIATE SUBSET
• UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION
• MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS

29
WAY AHEAD

• Some power point charts we have all seen
• How to visualize from real planning data, in real
  data bases for planning / replanning
• Can it be done???
