This paper reviews literature on the motion processing of dynamic change in binocular disparity, called stereoscopic (cyclopean) motion. Studies investigating the visual processing of stereoscopic motion in the Z-axis, stereoscopic motion in the X/Y plane, and cyclopean motion are discussed. It is concluded that stereoscopic motion is processed by a motion-sensing system composed of special-pur...

The Johns Hopkins University, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the Veterans Administration are collaborating to develop and test the Low Vision Enhancement System (LVES), a new technology for aiding persons with severe, chronic visual impairments. The LVES consists of a batterypowered, binocular, head-mounted black-and-white video display equipped with three video cameras....

A person with low vision has some useful sight. However, low vision usually interferes with the performance of daily activities such as reading or driving. Because low vision cannot be improved by mere traditional methods (i.e., the use of eyeglasses, contact lenses, etc), persons with low vision often rely on the use of a number of different instruments, called low vision devices, and tailored...
