Role of stereopsis in locomotion and navigation: Interaction and interfaces

本研究计划的总体主题和长期目标是开发立体表面感知模型及其在视觉引导行动中的作用。立体深度或立体视觉产生于对两眼图像之间的差异或“视差”的处理，并且对于表面形状、环境布局和材料属性的感知是重要的。这样的信息反过来对于规划和执行视觉引导的运动（包括运动）是重要的。目前的建议的重点是提供一个更好的理解人类使用的感知线索，使他们的环境，支持他们的运动的判断。然后，我们应用这些知识来帮助评估和开发更有效的3D用户界面。

The overall theme and long-term goal of this research program is to develop a model of stereoscopic surface perception and its role in visually guided action. Stereoscopic depth or stereopsis arises from processing of the differences or ‘disparities’ between the images in the two eyes and is important for the perception of surface shape, environmental layout and material properties. Such information is, in turn, important for the planning and execution of visually-guided movements including locomotion. The focus of the current proposal is to provide a better understanding of the perceptual cues humans use to make judgements of their environment that support their locomotion. We then apply this knowledge to help evaluate and develop more effective 3D user interfaces.
