Afrl-he-az-tp-2007-06 Binocular Rivalry and Attention in Helmet-mounted Display Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
As monocular head-mounted displays (HMDs) are introduced into existing flight simulators for training and mission rehearsal it will be important to determine whether binocular rivalry affects the visibility of HMD presented symbology or the out-the-window (OTW) flight simulator display imagery. In the present study, we examined whether rivalry suppression could be objectively measured under conditions that simulated a monocular HMD and OTW display, and whether voluntary attention and moving imagery influenced the strength of rivalry suppression. The results indicated that strength of suppression under these conditions was less than that found under classic dichoptic viewing conditions, and that attention had little influence on performance.

When wearing a monocular head-mounted display (HMD), one eye views the HMD symbology while both eyes view an out-the-window scene. This may create interocular differences in image characteristics that could disrupt binocular vision by provoking visual suppression, thus reducing visibility of the background scene, monocular symbology, or both. However, binocular fusion of the background scene ma...

Advances in microsensors, microprocessors and microdisplays are creating new opportunities for improving vision in degraded environments through the use of head-mounted displays. Initially, the cutting-edge technology used in these new displays will be expensive. Inevitably the cost of providing the additional sensor and processing required to support binocularity brings the value of binoculari...

Helicopter operations in degraded visual environment (DVE), especially brownout/whiteout landings often result in severe incidents and accidents in the civil and military field. In fact, landing in desert environment is the most dangerous aspect of flying in combat helicopters according to the USAF. The integration of a helmet-mounted display (HMD) can help the pilot to maintain situation aware...
متن کاملBinocular Rivalry Requires Visual Attention
An interocular conflict arises when different images are presented to each eye at the same spatial location. The visual system resolves this conflict through binocular rivalry: observers consciously perceive spontaneous alternations between the two images. Visual attention is generally important for resolving competition between neural representations. However, given the seemingly spontaneous a...
متن کاملInter-ocular transfer of stimulus cueing in dominance selection at the onset of binocular rivalry
Recent work investigated the influence of exogenous attention on initial percept dominance at the onset of binocular rivalry. It was reported that cueing attention to one of two binocularly presented transparent stimuli immediately prior to rivalrous viewing provided the cued stimulus with a competitive advantage in subsequent binocular rivalry. This effect was independent of the eye containing...
