So Keith (or anyone else), tell us more about what those reactions are, and 
how we build interfaces that are 'good'.  I'm working on a simulated lunar 
teleoperations project, and I need to make operator interfaces as well as 
measure the 'goodness' of those interfaces (and the 'skill' of the 
operators, and other such stuff), but I have no idea where to start....  
What's a good reference that gives real live actual examples and would be 
useful for a beginner?
