The BORIS simulator, developed by NASA to support Generic Robotics Training, was used to present four “fly-to” tasks with views representing combinations of good and poor control-display movement compatibility and perceptual quality. Translational (x, y, z) and rotational (pitch, yaw, roll) accuracies were used to assess performance. A significant interaction between movement compatibility and perceptual quality was found for both the overall translational and y accuracy measures (p = 0.0289 and p = 0.0155, respectively). This interaction appeared to indicate that performance was hindered only if both factors were poor. Perceptual quality significantly affected the z accuracy and pitch accuracy measures (p = 0.0461 and p = 0.0429, respectively) with the views identified as poor perceptual quality actually yielding better performance. These results suggest that performance on a 6-D robotics maneuver is not necessarily hindered by using only a 2-D view. If a single view cannot simultaneously provide both good movement compatibility and good perceptual quality, the results suggest that either one is sufficient with respect to overall translational accuracy.en-USResearch Article10.1177/154193120304700805false
