Approach

Clear Picture SA bridges cognitive research and industrial visualization — translating Situation Awareness (SA) principles into visual design practices that can be understood, demonstrated, and applied across tools and teams.

From Concept to Demonstration

Each SA concept begins with its cognitive foundation — drawn from sources such as Designing for Situation Awareness by Mica Endsley and Debra Jones, and Stephen Few’s Information Dashboard Design. Concepts are then illustrated and demonstrated through infographics, Figma mockups, and concept practical demonstrations and prototypes to show how the principles look and behave in practice.

Concepts are demonstrated in visualization tools, showing how SA-oriented thinking can be expressed in real systems without prescribing any specific technology.

Demonstrating SA Design Patterns

SA Design Patterns bring multiple concepts together into cohesive visualization strategies — such as high-level overview and drill-down, or user-driven and flexible displays. These prototypes illustrate how clarity, context, and adaptability can coexist in dashboards that support real human decision-making.

The emphasis is on demonstration, not evaluation — offering visual case studies that make SA principles tangible and transferable for designers, integrators, and platform teams alike.

Collaboration and Dialogue

Clear Picture SA remains open to collaboration with platform vendors, integrators, and visualization designers who share an interest in advancing clarity and human-centered design. These partnerships focus on exploration and shared learning — not audits or competitive evaluation.

Each collaboration contributes to a growing library of examples that highlight how different tools can express awareness-driven design logic in their own ways.

Neutrality and Integrity

All demonstrations use either simulated or anonymized data. Visuals are presented neutrally and focus on how principles can enhance human awareness — not on comparing products. The intent is to inspire improvement and shared understanding across the visualization ecosystem.
