Image safety — Reducing the incidence of undesirable biomedical effects caused by visual image sequences

Sécurité de l'image — Réduction de l'incidence des effets biomédicaux indésirables causés par des séquences d'images visuelles

Abstract / scope

IWA 3:2005 establishes the concept of image safety for all categories of image providers as well as for those who view moving images, such as computer/video games, movies, videos and video pictures on websites. It also defines the following undesirable biomedical effects caused by moving images:

  • photosensitive seizures;
  • visually-induced motion sickness;
  • visual fatigue.

IWA 3:2005 supplies viewers as well as image providers with recommendations as to how to reduce the biomedical risks to which they may be susceptible.

IWA 3:2005 does not have any contents intended for regulatory use.
