Abstract
The objective of this study is to evaluate the spatial ability differences and fatigue between three different students on different interface. An experiment was design to compare the differences between using the convention book (C-book) and using tablet computer, and compare the differences between three department students. Fifty-four vocational high school students, age sixteen to eighteen, participated in the study. Response measure included task performance, eye fatigue (measured by critical flicker fusion, CFF), and wrist fatigue (measured by subjective borg 10-CR scale). The result indicate that using the C-book had higher performance and less wrist fatigue than using tablet computer. In addition, on score sequence of task performance, interior design student is first, architecture student is second, and general student is last.
