What occurs to the Farthest Viewer distance when the image height decreases for BDM viewing at a fixed percent element height?

In the context of BDM (Business Display Market) viewing and the relationship between image height and the Farthest Viewer distance, understanding this relationship is key to determining how distance changes with varying image heights.

When the image height decreases while maintaining a fixed percent element height, the overall impression of the image's scale changes. The Farthest Viewer distance, which is the maximum distance at which viewers can still comfortably see and interpret the visual elements on a display, is directly related to the size of the image being viewed.

As the image height decreases, the viewer perceives the image as smaller. To maintain an optimal viewing experience where all viewers can still engage with the content, the Farthest Viewer distance must increase. This compensatory change allows viewers at greater distances to still have a clear line of sight and engage with the smaller image effectively. Therefore, the distance between the viewer and the display increases along with the decrease in the image height.

In contrast, if the image height were to increase, the Farthest Viewer distance would decrease, allowing viewers to sit closer while still maintaining visibility. In this scenario, the retention of the fixed percent element height plays a significant role, influencing how viewers interact with different sizes of images and their
