Visual Ergonomics and Its Applications in Complex Systems

The study of ergonomics in various complex systems through visual channels is very important to ensure visual safety, visual performance, visual comfort and even visual health in people's life, study and work. Firstly, the definition of visual ergonomics is elaborated, along with the influencing factors of human, machine, and environment, and visual ergonomics evaluation indicators in three aspects e.g. physical load, psychological load, and performance are proposed. Then, the progress of application research on visual ergonomics in complex systems such as display terminals, transportation equipment, and indoor environments etc. is analysed. Finally, possible future development directions in research and application of visual ergonomics are suggested.
