Abstract: | Perceived shape, rotation, and rigidity were investigated in displays with linear velocity gradients in the vertical and horizontal directions. Different temporal relationships between these gradients simulated perspective projections of frontally oriented or rotated translating dihedral angles, orthographic projections of rotating dihedral angles, or nonrigid motion. Displays with nonzero horizontal gradients were judged to represent greater angle magnitudes (less relative depth) than displays with 0 horizontal gradients. The temporal relationship between the vertical and horizontal gradients did not influence judged shape but did affect rotation and rigidity judgments; rigid rotations were judged to rotate most, and nonrigid displays were rated as least rigid. These results indicate that the visual system integrates information from more than 1 velocity field. Possible integration methods based on first-order optic flow analysis are discussed. |
