Visual challenges using Visual Display Units (VDU) in office landscapes
Abstract
A total of 85 VDU operators, in three main Scandinavian Alcatel-Lucent headquarters, were followed in a process moving from single occupancy offices to office landscapes. This paper discusses the visual challenges and implications in such a change in location. By careful design and construction of an office landscape with regards to lighting and visual conditions transfer from a small office to an office landscape may be acceptable from a visual-ergonomic point of view. In the oral presentation recommendation on how to avoid visual problems will be discussed.
