Life-Support Alarm Console 2D: Interface Design & Operator Response

Interactive 2D ECLSS alarm-console simulator: toggle color-coded vs monochrome alerts and grouped vs scattered panel layout, drag to tilt the console view, and watch operator response time and its Fitts's-Law / Hick-Hyman-Law / serial-search breakdown update live.

A spacecraft's ECLSS (Environmental Control and Life Support System) is only as safe as the console an astronaut reads it from. This 2D simulator renders a 36-panel alarm console covering six life-support subsystems and fires randomized — and realistically cascading — alarms that you must click to acknowledge. Drag the console to tilt the view, toggle color-coded versus monochrome alerting and grouped versus scattered panel layout, and watch the live bar chart of predicted acknowledgment time — built from Fitts's Law, the Hick-Hyman Law and serial visual-search theory — track your own measured response time, missed-alarm rate and false-click count.

⚙ Under the hood

A 2D, 36-panel ECLSS alarm console where you acknowledge randomized cascading alarms while toggling color-coded vs monochrome alerts and grouped vs scattered layout, drag to tilt the view, and watch operator response time and its Fitts's Law / Hick-Hyman Law / visual-search breakdown update live.
