Depth Discrimination as a Function of Target and Background Chromatic Composition.
Abstract
Many monochromatic display devices are being used and are planned for future use. This study was designed to explore the effect on visual performance of a narrow wavelength stimulus environment. The results suggest that for a neutrally adapted eye, depth discrimination of colored targets are at least as easily made as those for achromatic targets and in general more easily made than when the eye is adapted to chromatic stimulus. It is also suggested that when the eye is adapted to a low intensity neutral level, depth discrimination errors are smaller for all of the wavelengths used at or near an optical infinity distance except 5800 Angstroms.
