At CHI'13 we introduced Supervisory Guide - an assistant
system that invokes visual cues on a digital map display to
aid the monitoring behavior of a human operator
supervising unmanned aerial vehicles. The overall goal of
the system is to improve situation awareness. A previously
performed evaluation showed that the design of the
scheme dictating the look and feel of visual cues invoked
on the display is very important for user acceptance. This
paper presents two connected participatory design studies.
In the rst study 12 participants explored the design space
and sketched schemes using pen and paper. In the second
study 6 participants specied the implemented scheme on
the display. The results were used to design an adequate
visual cue invocation scheme.
