- Pilots may one day wear small pager-like
devices on their wrists to keep track of computer-
- automated activities on airplanes. Nadine
Sarter, assistant professor of industrial, welding, and systems
engineering at Ohio State University, found in a study that pilots
detected as many as 40 percent more signals from on-board computers
-- and sometimes more than twice as rapidly -- when they received
vibrations from this device instead of a visual signal on a cockpit
dashboard. Photo by Jo McCulty, courtesy of Ohio State University.
