Research Abstract	The final goal of this project is to create a new display method in large space by projecting light pattern on a moving object so that an observer integrates the "scanned images" into one large image due to the afterimage of his/her eye. In this project, the purpose was set to study the vision characteristics of human eye against such short and single scanned light sequence. A proof of concept experiment proved that the proposed method worked in a certain condition. Next, visual perception characteristics of human eyes were investigated by display experiments in the both case on a static screen and a dynamic screen. As a result, recognition rate of observer tended to be lower than the case of the static screen, and the recognition was found to depend on many factors. These results suggested that the proposed method has a significant possibility of working in a particular condition, and more investigations of visual characteristics against single scanned light image are needed.
