Variables affecting Dynamic Visual Acuity are important in the design of industrial inspection tasks. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of target background contrast. target size, and linear velocity upon DVA. For a given viewing time, an increase in linear velocity resulted in a marked decrease in DVA ability. Also, for a given linear velocity, an increase in viewing time resulted in an increase in viewing time resulted in an increase in DVA ability. Contrast levels and display width also affected performance.
