Consistent Stereoscopic Information Increases The Perceived Speed Of Vection In Depth, Stephen A. Palmisano
Consistent Stereoscopic Information Increases The Perceived Speed Of Vection In Depth, Stephen A. Palmisano
Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences - Papers (Archive)
Previous research found that adding stereoscopic information to radially expanding optic flow decreased vection onsets and increased vection durations (Palmisano S, 1996 Perception & Psychophysics 58 1168-1176). In the current experiments, stereoscopic cues were also found to increase perceptions of egospeed and self-displacement during vection in depth - but only when these cues were consistent with monocularly-available information about self-motion. Stereoscopic information did not appear to be improving vection by increasing the perceived maximum extent of displays or by making displays appear more three-dimensional. Rather, it appeared that consistent patterns of stereoscopic optic flow provided extra, purely binocular information about …
