Sitting Distance
The distance from the eyes to the nearest object while sitting.
SittingDistance
How to measure
Application
Used in workstation, vehicle, and classroom design to assess actual viewing distance and determine whether screen or instrument placement meets ergonomic guidelines.
Posture
Sit in your normal working position without adjusting for the measurement.
Landmark
Measured horizontally from the eyes to the nearest object or screen directly in front.
Tool
Tape measure.
Common mistake
Measure from where your eyes naturally rest in your normal position, not from where you think they should be. This measurement reflects your actual setup.
