In order to obtain comparability of visual display research data from different laboratories, and thereby to increase the efficiency and value of research in this area, some standardization was needed with regard to subject groups, units of measurement, fixed values of stimuli not under investigation, and methods of experimental measurement. The subcommittee that produced this report agreed that the standards it recommended should be circulated for comment and later published so as to be available to workers irt this field.

These include transparent phosphors, direct-view storage tubes, electroluminescent panels, bright displays, and new displays. At the same time, there has been research concerned with the effect of variation in basic parameters upon the use of presently available and widetr used displays.

It is assumed that the desirability of a 3-D display, as opposed to other equivalent display types, will be strongly dependent on the particular system under consideration. The current attempt to assess possible advantages and disadvantages of 3-D displays in relation to present and future systems is not concerned, therefore, with the advisabilit~r of recommending a 3-D display to the reader, who alone has the critical information regarding specific systems requirements.

Symposium participants critically reviewed laboratory studies of visual functions and field surveys of visual complaints of VDT operators to determine what conclusions can be drawn about the prevalence, severity, causes of, and possible remedies for reported difficulties. Although speakers' perspectives differed, a number of points appeared to gain consensus: (1)

. In the course of its study, the panel reviewed diverse literature, including reports of field surveys of VDT workers and VDT work places, laboratory studies of visual functions in VDT work tasks, news articles, and pamphlets prepared by labor unions concerned with VDT issues.

Participants reviewed what is known about research in this area with specific reference to environmental conditions likely to be encountered in low-profile armored vehicles. Eight specialists from the fields of visual psychophysics, neuroscience, and human factors engineering met for two days at Brandeis University in January 1988.
