In the expression 6/x vision, the numerator (6) is the distance in metres between the subject and the chart and the denominator (x) the distance at which a person with 6/6 acuity would discern the same optotype. Thus, 6/12 means that a person with 6/6 vision would discern the same optotype from 12 metres away (i.e. at twice the distance).
Near visual acuity or near vision is a measure of how clearly a person can see nearby small objects or letters.Visual acuity in general usually refers clarity of distance vision, and is measured using eye charts like Snellen chart, LogMAR chart etc. Near vision is usually measured and recorded using a printed hand-held card containing different sized paragraphs, words, letters or symbols.

[ 46 ] [ 47 ] The visual acuity threshold has been identified as a constraint factor in the recommendations on the optimum viewing distance for HDTV, [ 38 ] and also in formal research that comment on the subject of television and angular resolution.
A simple arithmetic calculator was first included with Windows 1.0.

In other words, an EFVS is a system which provides the pilot with an image which is better than unaided human ...
