How do we design asthenopia ('eyestrain') out of Microsoft Teams Rooms.
What display performance metrics are needed?
At ISE I was looking for the future in emissive MTR displays (dvLED, FPDs etc).
It's really interesting that although the 1.5mm dvLED category is unsuited for close viewing - and thus MTRs and hybrid spaces, the 0.9mm pitch offers some hope on the horizon. But so long as the luminance can be dialled back without losing dynamic range - and wasting power!
The Excel screen grab below shows both the principle of designing out eyestrain - using Task Luminance Ratio tools like this - and how low the display brightness should really be.
But there's a bigger story here. These mission-critical design metrics come from using environmental standards in conjunction with AVIXA's AV standards. Yes - it's all about a holistic approach.

Visual Displays offers design, specification and specialist consultancy especially in the domains of display design, VC lighting and room design. These services are mostly provided through integrators and as specialist sub-consultancy to AV consultants.
But I'm in close contact with end user tech management across the corporate, Higher Education and Governmental communities as this is how my team and I keep learning in this fast-changing world!
