Abstract

The illumination environment is extremely important to the visual-related operation/interface design, due to its great effect on visual operation. Therefore, the influence of illumination environment factors, such as illumination and color temperature, on visual operation needs to be investigated deeply. In this study, five illumination environment levels, combined by illumination and color temperature, were selected to carry out ergonomic experiments. The screen brightness of high, medium and low was set, and the internal experiment of two-factor subjects was conducted based on the visual search task. Behavioral performance data and subjective evaluation data of 16 subjects were collected and analyzed. The results show that, in terms of response time, correct rate, and subjective evaluation, the main effects of illumination and screen brightness are significant.
