Research Abstract |
We have attempted to examine the functions of the central and peripheral visual field by conducting an experiment with 20 participants using a specially designed head-mounted virtual reality system consisting of a wide-view head mounted display and eye tracker. The system can restrict an arbitrary area of the human visual field by modifying the display in concert with the precise position of the subject's fixation in real-time. The function of the central and peripheral visual field could then be examined by comparing the fixation patterns and the behaviour under the following conditions: one requires the subject to behave under normal visual conditions; the other restricts the peripheral visual field.
