Multilingual films do not always travel well across borders. When translated, multilingualism may become neutralised and washed out. In subtitling, multiple languages used in the original are usually not marked in any way in the target subtitles. This results in neutralisation and linguistic homogenisation, whereby target viewers may not even realise that different languages are spoken in the film. In this study, we test a new solution aimed to help preserve the multilingual nature of films in interlingual subtitling: the strategy of colour coding. To gauge the impact of colour coding on viewers, we conducted a survey-based reception study on a group of 52 Polish hearing speakers who watched a multilingual film with interlingual subtitles in two versions: one where subtitles were coloured, i.e. each language was marked with a different colour, and the other, control condition, where the subtitles were traditionally white. We measured participants' immersive tendency, immersion, comprehension, and cognitive load. While colour coding did not have a significant impact on immersion, we found that individuals with a lower tendency for immersion reported higher immersion levels when watching coloured subtitles. Our results may contribute to the discussion how to render the multilingual nature of films in interlingual subtitling.
Arising from complaints from KLM pilots about poor legibility of en route navigation charts, a study was carried out to assess the importance of the various information categories on the charts. Using the results, a d...

Subjects sought a unique target shape in a display of distractor shapes
under three colour coding conditions. In the no colour coding condition (NCC) all
shapes shared the same colour. In the two colour-coded conditions, the target was
uniquely and redundantly colour coded with a colour whose CIE 1976 UCS chromaticity
coordinates were either linearly separable (LS) or not linearly separable (NLS) from
the set of distractor chromaticity coordinates. Performance was optimal under LS
coding, was reduced under NLS coding and was least efficient in the NCC condition.
We discuss the implications of these results for refining colour selection algorithms
and for colour coding in situations where the gamut of available colours is limited.

Eighteen people participated in an experiment in which they were asked to search for targets on control room like displays which had been produced using three different coding methods. The monochrome coding method displayed the information in black and white only, the maximally discriminable method contained colours chosen for their high perceptual discriminability, the visual layers method contained colours developed from psychological and cartographic principles which grouped information into a perceptual hierarchy. The visual layers method produced significantly faster search times than the other two coding methods which did not differ significantly from each other. Search time also differed significantly for presentation order and for the method x order interaction. There was no significant difference between the methods in the number of errors made. Participants clearly preferred the visual layers coding method. Proposals are made for the design of experiments to further test and develop the visual layers colour coding methodology.

Effective communication within the operating department is essential for achieving patient safety. A large part of the perioperative communication is non-verbal. One type of non-verbal communication is 'object communication', the most common form of which is clothing. The colour coding of clothing such as scrubs has the potential to optimise perioperative communication with the patients and between the staff. A colour contains a coded message, and is a visual cue for an immediate identification of personnel. This is of key importance in the perioperative environment. The idea of colour coded scrubs in the perioperative setting has not been much explored to date and, given the potential contributiontowards improvement of patient outcomes, deserves consideration.

Does the choice of colour-coding scheme affect the usability of metro maps, as measured by the accuracy and speed of navigation? Using colour to differentiate lines or services in maps of metro rail networks has been a common practice around the world for many decades. Broadly speaking, there are two basic schemes: 'route colouring', in which each end-to-end route has a distinct colour, and 'trunk colouring', in which each major trunk has a distinct colour, and the individual routes inherit the colour of the main trunk that they run along. A third, intermediate scheme is 'shaded colouring', in which each trunk has a distinct colour, and each route has a distinct shade of that colour. In this study, 285 volunteers in the US were randomised to these three colour-coding schemes and performed seventeen navigational tasks. Each task involved tracing a route in the New York City subway map. Overall, we found that route colouring was significantly more accurate than the trunk-and shaded-colouring schemes. A planned subset analysis, however, revealed major differences between specific navigational hazards: route colouring performed better only against certain navigational hazards;trunk colouring performed best against one hazard;and other hazards showed no effect of colour coding. Route colouring was significantly faster only in one subset.

In this paper, the effects of absolute colour-identification on a CRT display are compared under different experimental conditions, i.e., ambient illuminant intensity, colour temperature and target luminance. The results indicate that performance of colour identification deteriorated as ambient illuminant intensity was increased. colour identification under the 2800 K colour temperature was better than that under the 1800 K and 5800 K. Performance at high luminance was superior to that at low luminance. colours were chosen to make up the colour coding system on the CRT display under various ambient illuminant conditions. The number and range of the colours selected for the colour coding could be expanded by increasing the target luminance on the CRT display.

By using a white light source and based on the self correlation effect of a group of moving particles, a method is proposed for measuring the velocity and acceleration of the particles. This velocity can be colour coded. A simple theoretical analysis is given and a simulation experiment is presented. The method is simple and economic.
