Visually guided navigation: Head-mounted eye-tracking of natural locomotion in children and adults
نویسندگان
چکیده
The current study showed that visual fixation of obstacles is not required for rapid and adaptive navigation of obstacles. Children and adults wore a wireless, head-mounted eye-tracker during a visual search task in a room cluttered with obstacles. They spontaneously walked, jumped, and ran through the room, stepping up, down, and over obstacles. Both children and adults navigated adaptively without fixating obstacles, however, adults fixated less often than children. We discuss several possibilities for why obstacle navigation may shift from foveal to peripheral control over development.

Active vision in passive locomotion: real-world free viewing in infants and adults.
Visual exploration in infants and adults has been studied using two very different paradigms: free viewing of flat screen displays in desk-mounted eye-tracking studies and real-world visual guidance of action in head-mounted eye-tracking studies. To test whether classic findings from screen-based studies generalize to real-world visual exploration and to compare natural visual exploration in in...
متن کاملA Multimodal Locomotion User Interface for Immersive Geospatial Information Systems
In this paper we present a new multimodal locomotion user interface that enables users to travel through 3D environments displayed in geospatial information systems (GISs), e.g., Google Earth or Microsoft Virtual Earth. When using the proposed interface the geospatial data can be explored immersively using stereoscopic visualization on a head-mounted display (HMD). When using certain tracking a...
متن کاملApplication of eye tracking technology for screening and rehabilitation of children with special needs.
Eye tracking is a technology for measuring eye movements when looking at a point. The length of time to look at a particular situation, the sequence of observations, as well as points of attention are processed in the process of eye tracking and eye movements are identified by topics such as fixation, saccade, etc. Information about how the eyes move at a special moment has many potential appli...
متن کاملResolving the Vergence-Accommodation Conflict in Head-Mounted Displays A review of problem assessments, potential solutions, and evaluation methods
The vergence-accommodation conflict (VAC) remains a major problem in head-mounted displays for virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR). In this review, I discuss why this problem is pivotal for nearby tasks in VR and AR, present a comprehensive taxonomy of potential solutions, address advantages and shortfalls of each design, and cover various ways to better evaluate the solutions. The review...
متن کاملSHORT REPORT Statistical word learning at scale: the baby's view is better
A key question in early word learning is how children cope with the uncertainty in natural naming events. One potential mechanism for uncertainty reduction is cross-situational word learning – tracking word/object co-occurrence statistics across naming events. But empirical and computational analyses of cross-situational learning have made strong assumptions about the nature of naming event amb...
