Visual Evoked Potential Using Head-Mounted Display Versus Cathode Ray Tube: A Pilot Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
OBJECTIVE To present a new stimulation method based on the use of a head-mounted display (HMD) during pattern reversal visual evoked potential (PR-VEP) testing and to compare variables of HMD to those of conventional cathode ray tube (CRT). METHODS Twenty-three normal subjects without visual problems were recruited. PR-VEPs were generated using CRT or HMD stimuli. VEP outcome measures included latencies (N75, P100, and N145) and peak-to-peak amplitudes (N75-P100 and P100-N145). Subjective discomfort associated with HMD was determined using a self-administered questionnaire. RESULTS PR-VEPs generated by HMD stimuli showed typical triphasic waveforms, the components of which were found to be correlated with those obtained using conventional CRT stimuli. Self-administered discomfort questionnaires revealed that HMD was more comfortable in some aspects. It allowed subjects to concentrate better than CRT. CONCLUSION The described HMD stimulation can be used as an alternative to the standard CRT stimulation for PR-VEPs. PR-VEP testing using HMD has potential applications in clinical practice and visual system research because HMD can be used on a wider range of subjects compared to CRT.

Viewing model for stereoscopic head-mounted displays
We characterize a class of stereoscopic displays, which includes head-mounted displays that incorporate miniature cathode-ray tubes. We present a detailed viewing model that accounts for the placement, size, and orientation of the virtual display images. The model is appropriate for several types of head-mounted display, as well as head-tracked stationary displays. The tracking algorithm accoun...

The principal channel of interactive communication from a computer to a person is an electronic display. The amount of information shown and the way in which it can be exhibited depend on successfully matching the capabilities of the display to the human visual system. Making this channel as wide, as fast, and as effective as possible has been the goal of electronic display development for the ...

Concerns about potentially harmful effects on the visual system due to the use of head mounted displays (HMDs) in general, and stereoscopic systems in particular, have been raised in the literature. Most of the concerns were based on studies measuring visual function changes following short-term use of HMDs. This study measured functional changes in binocular vision, accommodation, and resoluti...

Avionics display systems using CRTs as core of the projection system suffer from reliability issues added to increased weight and cost of the associated circuitry. Though CRTs offer some advantages in the form of good brightness and contrast ratio even in the high ambient light conditions, recent advancement in microelectomechanical system (MEMS) based display technology ushered in an era of mi...

This pilot study examined the performance of an alternative computer visual interface, the Virtual Retinal Display (VRD), for low-vision use. The VRD scans laser light directly onto the retina, creating a virtual image. Since visually impaired individuals can have difficulty using computer displays, a matched comparison study was done between the VRD and the standard cathode ray tube (CRT) moni...
