Abstract

The chapter delves into the psychological differences between information displayed via projectors (reflected light) and displays (transmitted light). It challenges Marshall McLuhan's hypothesis that reflected light makes people logical and transmitted light emotional. Through meticulously controlled psychological experiments, the study compares user impressions and effects of both display methods. Key findings include no significant differences in user perceptions and emotions when viewing landscape images or performing logical tasks. The chapter concludes that further research is needed to validate McLuhan's hypothesis, offering a compelling perspective on the psychological impacts of different display technologies.
