متن کاملOptic flow helps humans learn to navigate through synthetic environments.
Self-movement through an environment generates optic flow, a potential source of heading information. But it is not certain that optic flow is sufficient to support navigation, particularly navigation along complex, multi-legged paths. To address this question, we studied human participants who navigated synthetic environments with and without salient optic flow. Participants used a keyboard to...
