Visual fatigue and working performance in binocular and monocular viewing with the Retinal Imaging Display

Abstract

Retinal Imaging Display, or RID, is the display that projects images directly on the retina by raster-scanning laser beam, and can change accommodation information by manipulating laser wave front. The purpose of the study is to examine the effects of binocular and monocular viewing with see-through RID on visual fatigue and work performance. As a result, we found increment of subjective evaluation of visual fatigue, a tendency of decreasing work performance when the RID is viewed monocularly than binocularly. We however, could not find the clear effects on accommodation response.
