This study presents a three-dimensional computer-modelling system based on Transom JACK software, with 3D objects/equipment and human subjects with specific anthropometric measurements to visualize and evaluate human-machine interaction. A computer simulation method is then adopted to evaluate some VDT (Visual Display Terminal) workstations to determine whether they are appropriate for use by w...

Displaying multiple levels of data visually has been proposed to address the challenge of limited screen space. We review 22 existing multi-level interface studies and cast findings into a fourpoint decision tree: (1) When are multi-level displays useful? (2) What should the higher visual levels display? (3) Should the visual levels be displayed simultaneously? (4) Should the visual levels be e...

In an early sixteenth-century printed book from the Low Countries, we find first visual images that depict Christ with attributes of a worldly physician. This imagery was already in use Middle Dutch literature since thirteenth century. Building on Augustinian topos Christus medicus, these devotional texts display interesting developments towards concretization and interiorization. article gives...

Nowadays an intensive diversification can be experienced among the devices that can display multimedia content to the user. Typically, clients are unable to receive large audio-visual data volumes in original quality because of resource limitations and deficiency of terminal capabilities. The aim of media resource adaptation is to provide multimedia items for users in a format that is most appr...

A good display design should make the inaccuracies and limitations of a display technology invisible to the human eye. However, this requires a good understanding of what is and what is not visible to the human eye. For that reason, display engineering is tightly linked to the understanding and modeling of visual perception. Chapter 4 of this book introduced the basic limitations of visual perc...
