Abstract
Initial surveys at the UP Film Institute Videotheque indicated that 47% of viewers experienced neck strain while watching. An assessment was then conducted by measuring the sitting eye height of the viewers, and calculating the line of sight, viewing distance, and viewing angles at each seat. Results show that those in the front rows and outermost columns are on an average 9.83 and 11.39° beyond the normal horizontal and vertical viewing angles respectively. Comparing the measurement results of the viewing distances and angles to existing standards, 35 out of the 58 seats in the videotheque are deemed unsatisfactory. Seats with viewing angles and distances identified to be beyond standards are determined as the areas where viewers experience discomfort.
