ABSTRACT

Displays, which are the subject of this conference, are now being used extensively throughout our society. More and more of our time is spent watching television, movies, computer screens, etc. Furthermore, in an increasing number of cases, the observer interacts with the display and plays the role of operator as well as observer. To a large extent, our normal behavior in our normal environment can also be thought of in these same terms. Taking liberties with Shakespeare, we might say that “all the world’s a display and all the individuals in it are operators in and on the display”.
