What is Visual Ergonomics?
Visual ergonomics is the multidisciplinary science concerned with understanding human visual processes and the interactions between humans and other elements of a system. Visual ergonomics applies theories, knowledge and methods to the design and assessment of systems, optimizing human well-being and overall system performance. Relevant topics include, among others: the visual environment, such as lighting; visually demanding work and other tasks; visual function and performance; visual comfort and safety; optical corrections and other assistive tools.
A description of the how the definition was developed is included in a Letter to the Editor published in Applied Ergonomics: “A definition of visual ergonomics”, available online 8 April 2014.
An easy-to-read article explaining the practical implications of visual ergonomics was developed by this Technical Committee and published in WORK (2014): 47: 419-420. Download a copy of the article.
What are some of the domains of interest of visual ergonomics?
- Visually demanding work tasks and leisure activities
- The human visual system and perception
- Environmental conditions e.g. illumination, indoor air quality
- Optometry and ophthalmology, e.g. vision corrections for people with normal vision and vision impairment, ageing vision, visual fatigue
- Visual displays and information design
- Workstation design, visual comfort and musculoskeletal disorders
What are the objectives of the Visual Ergonomics Technical Committee?
The objectives of the Visual Ergonomics Technical Committee are to:
- Facilitate international cross-disciplinary communication and collaboration among professionals with an interest in Visual Ergonomics
- Promote basic and applied ergonomic research within the domain of visual ergonomics
- Promote best ergonomics practice within the domain of Visual Ergonomics so that comfortable, safe and efficient work and
- Encourage high standards within academic and practical Visual Ergonomics education
Organizational Structure
The Technical Committee is a peer group of researchers, practitioners and educators without a hierarchical substructure.
