Study Notes
Effective Visual Display
- Refers to the design and use of any interface that presents information through sight, optimizing user comfort, safety, and performance.
Visibility
- Information should be easily distinguishable with:
- Appropriate font size
- Color contrast
- Lighting
- Reduce glare from ambient light sources or utilize anti-glare filters
- Position the display at a comfortable distance based on task and user needs
Positioning
- Place the display where the user can see it without excessive head or neck movement
- Ideally, position the display at a 90-degree angle to the user's line of sight, especially for large screens
- Allow users to adjust the display height, tilt, and swivel for personalized comfort
Content and Information
- Use language and symbols understandable to the target audience
- Present information in a structured and easy-to-follow manner
- Use visual cues like color, size, or placement to emphasize critical information
Effective Displays
- Must have good visibility, being easily and clearly seen
- Should be within the user's field of vision and attract attention through flashing or changing in some other way
Explore the principles of designing and using visual interfaces to optimize user comfort, safety, and performance in ergonomics. Learn about visibility, glare reduction, and appropriate viewing distances.
