Abstract

This study investigated the effects of nine colour environments on visual tracking accuracy and visual strain during normal sitting (SP), −12° head-down bed (HD) and 9.6° head-up tilt bed (HU). In a standard posture change laboratory study, fifty-four participants performed visual tracking tasks in nine colour environments while in the three postures. Visual strain was measured by means of a questionnaire. The results showed that in all colour environments, the −12° head-down bed rest posture significantly affected visual tracking accuracy and visual strain. During the three postures, the participants’ visual tracking accuracy in the cyan environment was significantly higher than that in other colour environments, and their visual strain was the lowest. Overall, the study adds to our understanding of how environmental and postural factors impact on visual tracking and visual strain.
