| Research Abstract |
We developed a wearable system that provides a human user with the artificial oculomotor ability to control their eyes independently. We performed fundamental experiments to evaluate effects on the user's visual capabilities. However, providing two independent fields of view led to binocular rivalry in volunteers, which reduced performance compared to the control case. We added functions to provide the user fields of view based on saccadic movements to the system.
