چکیده
This study investigated the effect of display type (plasma TV and CRT TV) and game type (boxing game and tennis game) on visual fatigue and mental workload for both genders during one hour Wii game playing. The use of plasma display to play video games improved significantly CFF threshold (p<0.001). But it also caused greater subjective eye fatigue rating (p<0.01). The change in CFF threshold for playing boxing game would be doubled than playing tennis game. Moreover, the playing boxing game produced about 70% more eye fatigue rating and about 25% more mental workload than playing tennis game, respectively. The gender effect was not significant on all the measurements.
