Abstract
Fifteen subjects performed a numeral reading task during (a) vibration of the display, (b) vibration of the subject, (c) simultaneous vibration of both subject and display. Sinusoidal motion at eleven frequencies (0·5 to 5·0 Hz) was presented at five acceleration magnitudes (1·0 to 2·5ms−2 r.m.s.). Measures of reading time and reading error showed that for all except the highest frequencies, vibration of the display resulted in the poorest performance. Simultaneous whole-body-and-display vibration produced least performance decrement. The effects of both the viewing conditions and the vibration frequency are discussed in relation to known characteristics of the visual system.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
