Abstract:
An experimental determination of perceptual thresholds for jitter in VDUs is reported. For jitter of a vertical line in a highly structured surround the jitter thresholds (jitter amplitude) varied between 5 and 10 seconds of arc depending on the frequency of the jitter. For jitter generated in a VDU designed for text presentation the displacement threshold of jitter (with a 10% criterion) was found to be 29 seconds of arc.
