HCI Myth 4—‘There's nothing more to say about VDUs’

Visual display units versus visual computation

Pages 515-523 | Published online: 25 Apr 2007
 

Abstract

Vision is the result of complex neural computation. It is argued that cathode ray tube displays make the neural computation more complex than it needs to be because (1) they pulsate in brightness; (2) they present a visual image which is spatially periodic but which demands precise control of eye movement; and (3) the spectral power distribution of light emitted by the phosphor is uneven.
