Designing Intuitive Human–Drone Interfaces for Post‑disaster Response
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to facilitate an efficient post-disaster recovery in lower-income countries by promoting first-responder accessibility and safety through pre-response disaster area observation and categorisation tools. In the past, research into assistive technologies in this field has been highly focused on disaster mitigation, detection, or primary participation, rather than reconnaissance and target identification activities conducted by first responders. Thus, research into this under-represented but highly important industry was necessary.
