6.1.5-4 Minimizing Communication/Collaboration Interaction Burdens

The methods of interaction provided by a group-view display to support communication/collaboration should be designed to minimize the demands associated with executing these interactions.

Additional Information:
Computer-based interfaces may impose burdens that are different from face-to- face discussions for multi-person interactions, such as providing inputs via keyboards or pointing interfaces. These burdens should not interfere with the ability of operators to interact with each other and should not detract from the operators' primary tasks associated with controlling the plant. Overall, the burdens associated with communicating and collaborating via the group-view display should be offset by the benefits gained from interactions via this media.
