Role of stereopsis in locomotion and navigation: Interaction and interfaces

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

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.
