Topic: Computer screen


  
  Split screen (computer graphics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The computer graphics technique called split screen display consists of dividing graphics and/or text into non-movable adjacent parts, typically two or four rectangular areas, in order to allow the simultaneous presentation of (usually) related graphical and textual information on a computer display.
Split screen differs from windowing systems in that the latter allows overlapping and freely movable parts of the screen (the "windows") to present related as well as unrelated application data to the user, while the former more strictly conforms to the description given in the above paragraph.
The split screen technique can also be used to run two aspects of an application, with possibly another user interacting with the other perspective.

 Computer Use by Senior Citizens
In this position the computer screen is at about the right height, at about the right distance from your eyes, and centered on your body.
If you cannot comfortably read the computer screen when it is at about and arm's length away from your eyes, then use the magnification feature of most software programs to zoom the screen, rather than sitting much closer to the computer screen.
Use a document holder that it is height adjustable and positioned adjustable, and either place this in between the keyboard and the computer screen, or adjacent to one side of the computer screen.

On-screen indications of controls' status should be accessible to screen readers.
Screen reader users need the ability to select and review the spoken or Braille equivalent of text from any portion of the screen.
Keyboards, not mice, are typically used with screen readers; it is possible to move the mouse around the screen and have the names of objects read aloud, but that is an error-prone and time-consuming method of finding information.

 Computer Screen Photography
Important considerations are the geometric alignment of camera and screen, the elimination of reflections on the screen, and proper exposure of the screen image.
The top/bottom of the screen should be parallel to the corresponding edge of the camera view frame; if not, adjust the tripod so that they are.
To avoid the problem of pixels bleeding into each other, adjust the brightness and contrast controls on the computer screen so the image is slightly dim; yet not so dim that you have to struggle to see the image.

 Howstuffworks "Printed Text Beats Computer Screen"
Computers may actually slow learning because text read on a computer monitor is more confusing and less persuasive than text printed on paper, according to a recent study presented at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Association.
The results of this preliminary study suggest that computers don't enhance learning as much as previously thought, said P. Karen Murphy, co-author of the study and assistant professor of educational psychology at OSU.
"Given that there is such an emphasis on using computers in the classroom, this study gives educators reason to pause and examine the supposed benefits associated with computer use in classrooms," Murphy said.

 Privacy Filters - Computer Privacy Screen, for Desktop LCD
While the screen image remains clear for the user who is viewing it full-front, those who glance at your screen from the sides are frustrated by blurred text or images.
Including anti glare screen coatings in the design of your privacy filter so that the user is provided a reduction in glare helps create a more comfortable computer work area that's very beneficial.
Unlike CRTs, in which part of the screen's overall size is behind the monitor housing, LCD screen measurements are known as "true" because what you see is the size required.

 Discovery Channel :: News :: Computer Screen Made From Fog   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
According to Rakkolainen, other screens made from fog have been developed, but remain non-interactive because the large water vapor particles they employ would create a damp experience for the user.
Depending on the image and the environment, the screen can appear opaque or translucent, and in both cases the same image can be seen from both sides.
The interactivity is made possible by an optical camera that tracks any hand motion in front of the screen, tiny infrared emitters that illuminate the hand the camera sees, and sensors that pick up reflected light.

To get a photograph of a screen without a fl bar across it you have to shoot at a shutter speed of 1/20th of a second or slower so it is important to get a reading from the screen before you do anything else.
At 200 ISO this screen read 1/20th at f4.5 or 1/15th at f5.6 with the TTL meter in my DCS520 so I decided to go for the latter.

 Windows Screensavers Explained
Screensavers prevent screen damage that is caused when the same areas of light and dark are displayed for long periods of time.
At that time many cathode ray tubes in TVs, computer monitors or elsewhere were prone to be damaged if the same pattern (e.g., the WordPerfect status line; the Pong score readout; or a TV channel-number display) was shown at the same position on the screen for very long periods of time.
The phosphor on the screen would "fatigue" and that part of the screen would seem grayed out, even when the CRT was off.

 Squint at Computer Screen: Eye Risk?
A new study shows the more people squint at a computer screen, the less they blink, and the more they reported symptoms like eye strain, dryness, irritation, and tearing.
Researchers found squinting at a computer screen halves the normal number of times a person blinks per minute, which could lead to an irritating but treatable condition called dry eye.
Squinting often occurs as an involuntary response, and researchers say people working at a computer may not even realize they are squinting.

For older computers, having at least 640K of memory is strongly recommended in order to run screen magnification software and have enough memory left over for applications and other uses.
A limitation of screen magnification software (and magnification in general) is that as on-screen material is magnified, less of it fits on the screen.
In addition to screen magnification software systems, SuperVista, from TeleSensory Corp., is a magnification system made up of software, a card that is installed in the computer, and a three button mouse.
