54.3: The Effect of Viewing Duration on Visual Comfort with Near-To-Eye Displays

We tested the effect of viewing duration to the user experience and visual comfort with NED. Nineteen participants viewed “The Queen” for 40 and 95 minutes. Longer viewing time produced more sickness and visual strain symptoms but in general the symptom levels remained low and the experience was pleasant.
