Abstract:

The results of research intended to determine the effect of variation in color on a two dimensional tracking task with superimposed glare flashes are described. The EAI 680 Analog Computer was the primary function generator with the EAI 600 Pacer digital computer performing control functions and Data analysis. Tests on five subjects under four colors indicates that the blue filtered light was significantly better than white, red, or orange-red filtered light when a glare was imposed.
