Perceptual slant induced through optical contact.

30 Jul 2009 Stimuli simulating a corridor with a pole inside it were presented. The positions of the ends of the pole within the ceiling and ground of the corridor were the optical contacts of concern. The main hypothesis was that a difference between the ... Read more...

Revisiting the effect of quality of graphics on distance judgments in virtual environments: a comparison of verbal reports and blind walking.

30 Jul 2009 In immersive virtual environments, judgments of perceived egocentric distance are significantly underestimated, as compared with accurate performance in the real world. Two experiments assessed the influence of graphics quality on two distinct ... Read more...

The spatiotemporal distinctiveness of direct causation.

30 Jul 2009 The launching effect, in which people judge one object to have caused another to immediately move after contact, is often described as the prototype of direct causation. The special status of this interaction may be due to its psychophysical ... Read more...
