INTRODUCTION TO FIELD OF VIEW
The objective of this chapter is to provide a background into ergonomic issues related to designing
the daylight openings (called the DLOs, which include all the window openings including wind-
shield and backlite) and other eld-of-view-providing devices such as mirrors and cameras to assure
