Dear Hoover

Could you please post the following query

thanks

Rob Jacobs

Hi from New Zealand

I am part of a working group set up by Airways Corporation of New Zealand
to look at concerns over eye fatigue raised in relation to the use of "Plan
View Displays" (radar) and other data displays by staff in control rooms
and control towers.

My search of the literature for studies relating to the time course of
onset of visual fatigue and recovery from visual fatigue has found only a
few studies which are useful.

Could any member of the CVNet community who has knowledge of this area, or
who is working in this area please contact me so that I can enure that my
literature search has been thorough.

Thank you

Rob Jacobs
