Abstract

Understanding how to effectively display uncertain information has become increasingly important as decision aids are able to provide operators with situational estimates and their associated uncertainty. This paper describes an experiment in which degraded icons were used to convey uncertainty. Results indicated similar performance using degraded images or numeric probabilities, suggesting that the use of degraded images may be a viable method for displaying uncertainty.
