Electronic screens on laptop and tablet computers are being used for reading text, often while multitasking. Two experimental studies with college students explored the effect of medium and opportunities to multitask on reading (Study 1) and report writing (Study 2). In study 1, participants (N = 120) read an easy and difficult passage on paper, a laptop, or tablet, while either multitasking or...

Why a display should be physical in the first place? Immaterial mid-air displays are more suitable for many situations than impenetrable monitors or display walls. Interactive mid-air projection screens in various sizes are becoming feasible alternatives for displaying information and interacting with it. We have created a Kinect-based interactive and virtual reality system for the FogScreen. W...

Background: Computer usage has rapidly grown. This is because it helps to resolve problems, i.e., encountered in daily life by individuals. Various monitor screens that have been developed affect the userchr('39')s eyes. Screen size is one of the relevant impacts. Thus, this study compared the immediate effects of two computer screen sizes on visual fatigue in Video Display Terminal (VDT) users...

Color images are usually viewed on CRT monitor screen under ambient light sources. The feeling for reproduced color on CRT monitor depends on white point of ambient light source and the CRT monitor screen'-3. Therefore, if the effect of ambient light source is not considered, then the reproduced color does not match the intrinsic color. This paper proposes a method to investigate the effect of ...

An intelligent design method of double screen frequency selective surfaces (FSSs) is addressed in this paper. The employed unit cell is composed of two metallic screens, which are printed on both sides of a substrate. The presented non-trial-and-error approach is investigated based on the separate design of each screen. With the help of some physical intuition and an equivalent circuit model, i...

Due to its good spatial resolution, the YAG:Ce screen monitor is often used for small beam profile measurement in the Linac and beam transport line. We constructed a high-resolution YAG:Ce screen monitor at KEK-ATF2 for the observation of small size beam. We tested two types of screen, one is ceramic (sintered alumina powder) YAG:Ce and the other is single crystal YAG:Ce. Both screens have 50μm...

fi c a s o f bstract. Every type of color imaging device has its own color reroduction method, providing color characteristic information. Thus, color management system with an ICC profile is generally used to eproduce colors between two different color imaging devices, for xample, from a monitor to a printer. However, once the ICC profile f a device is measured and stored, it usually remains u...

Parents and educators often expect that children will learn from touch screen devices, such as during joint e-book reading. Therefore an essential question is whether young children understand that the touch screen can be a symbolic medium - that entities represented on the touch screen can refer to entities in the real world. Research on symbolic development suggests that symbolic understandin...
