“…Some studies have examined the effect of dynamic features in signs on behavioral compliance during a work-related task and emergency [3,[58][59][60]. The findings suggested that dynamic presentations produced higher compliance than static presentations [58,[61][62][63][64][65] mainly because of some features that make them more noticeable. This is in line with attention theory [66].…”

An effective warning attracts attention, elicits knowledge, and enables compliance behavior. Game mechanics, which are directly linked to human desires, stand out as training, evaluation, and improvement tools. Immersive virtual reality (VR) facilitates training without risk to participants, evaluates the impact of an incorrect action/decision, and creates a smart training environment. The present study analyzes the user experience in a gamified virtual environment of risks using the HTC Vive head-mounted display. The game was developed in the Unreal game engine and consisted of a walk-through maze composed of evident dangers and different signaling variables while user action data were recorded. To demonstrate which aspects provide better interaction, experience, perception and memory, three different warning configurations (dynamic, static and smart) and two different levels of danger (low and high) were presented. To properly assess the impact of the experience, we conducted a survey about personality and knowledge before and after using the game. We proceeded with the qualitative approach by using questions in a bipolar laddering assessment that was compared with the recorded data during the game. The findings indicate that when users are engaged in VR, they tend to test the consequences of their actions rather than maintaining safety. The results also reveal that textual signal variables are not accessed when users are faced with the stress factor of time. Progress is needed in implementing new technologies for warnings and advance notifications to improve the evaluation of human behavior in virtual environments of high-risk surroundings.

“…Current and new technology provides opportunities for more dynamic ways of warning people that would be potentially more effective. Several recent papers have explored this topic (Smith-Jackson & Wogalter, 2004;Wogalter & Conzola, 2002;Wogalter & Mayhorn, 2005). Here we focus on a few of the ways that technology may enhance warnings.…”

Since the early 1980s there has been an increased interest in research on warnings. This chapter has several objectives. First, we describe the purpose of warnings and where warnings fit with other safety considerations, such as design and guarding. Next, we present a model that incorporates both communication and information-processing concepts, which is characteristic of theoretical orientations that have guided much of the warning research. The research and application issues have generally focused on two themes: design factors and nondesign factors that influence warning effectiveness. Third, we review the progress and status of research and application, with an emphasis on identifying those factors that appear to be most important in determining warning effectiveness. Finally, we conclude with a discussion of some of the challenges and opportunities facing warning designers and researchers in the future.

“…Advancements in technology enabled the design of dynamic warnings, incorporating displays, detectors, or sensor devices (Laughery & Wogalter, ). Several studies address the superior effectiveness of dynamic and technology‐supported warnings compared to static warning designs (Smith‐Jackson & Wogalter, ; Wogalter & Conzola, ; Wogalter & Mayhorn, ). According to Rogers et al (), to ensure the effectiveness of a warning, people have to notice, encode, comprehend, and comply to a warning.…”

People often display excessive overconfidence when providing interval estimates, which biases decision‐making. Research has investigated the various measures to effectively reduce overconfidence, and the use of warnings has subsequently been considered to have a negligible reduction effect. We demonstrate with two separate experiments that the impact of warnings has to be reviewed in light of dynamic warning designs and cognitive warning process models. In experiment 1, in contrast to previous studies that only used unstructured warnings, we implement a warning incorporating some core elements of a structured warning design based on research in the fields of human factors and ergonomics. Furthermore, accounting for recent developments in the warning literature, we distinguish between static and dynamic warning design. In experiment 2, we examine the effectiveness of different elements of dynamic warnings. We show that a significantly higher reduction of overconfidence can be achieved by combining a structured warning content with a dynamic stimulus change to increase the warning's noticeability.
