We analyzed several model designs that have been subjected to incremental increase in the isotropically distributed strain for an elastomer component which is integrated into a four-actuator microelectromechanical system (MEMS) with a hybrid configuration in this study. Based on the fundamental configuration in which a cross-shaped polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) structure was placed above the symmetrically

Large-field optic flow generates the illusory percept of self-motion, termed ‘vection’. Smoother visual motion displays generate a more compelling subjective sense of vection and objective postural responses, as well as a greater sense of immersiveness for the user observing the visual display. Research suggests that the function linking frame rate and vection asymptotes at 60 frames per second (FPS)

In this human subject study about interaction with head-up displays (HUDs), the impacts of three types of HUDs (flag, perspective, and flag and perspective) on experienced and inexperienced drivers were subjectively and objectively measured. The driving experiment divided 60 participants into two groups (experienced and inexperienced) and assessed their driving experiences in real high- and low-level

Light reaching the retina elicits ocular symptoms that lead to some changes of human physiology and performance. However, its influence on ocular system is still unclear due to the lack of comprehensive analysis of ocular parameters. This study investigated the effects of corneal illuminance and display area on the oculomotor system based on eye-tracking technology, and a visual display unit was used

When viewing stereoscopic 3D (S3D) displays, excessive binocular disparity is one of the major sources for the induced visual fatigue. Limiting the disparity within a certain range termed ‘comfort zone’ is a useful approach to alleviate the negative impact of viewing the S3D displays. Using the event-related potential (ERP) approach, we have previously showed that the differential P3 (DP3) signal evoked

We examine the effect of the (luminance) ratio of ambient luminance to tablet surface luminance on text legibility and fatigue over 1 h of long-term reading with a tablet PC in low-ambient-luminance environments limited to 45 cd/m2 (illuminance ~230 lx). Four reading-pattern subject experiments are carried out at ambient-luminance-to-tablet-surface-luminance ratios of 1:1, 1:3, 1:6, and 1:9 at 15 and

A light field display (LFD) can provide high immersion three-dimensional (3D) visual experience by accurately reconstructing the light field information of 3D objects, which usually require a large number of views and high resolution. However, the information capacity provided by the LFD is limited, so the view number and the view resolution are mutually constrained. Few effective standards or methods

In order to correctly read and interpret interface information shown on the interface of vital signs monitor, the challenging problems of misreading and misinterpreting the information must be addressed. Therefore, a visual search experiment that the text characteristics of the interface is carried out in this study to categorize parameterized information and encode parameterized numbers on a monitoring

This paper describes an algorithm for generating a planar image that when tilted provides stereo cues to slant, without contamination from pictorial gradients. As the stimuli derived from this image are ultimately intended for use in studies of slant perception under magnification, a further requirement is that the generated image be suitable for high-definition printing or display on a monitor. A

This chapter describes the human and environmental factors that dictate the way that displays must be designed for, and used in space. A brief history of the evolution of such display systems covers developments from the Mercury rockets to the International Space Station.
