Depth Cue Integration in an Active Control Paradigm

Abstract

Numerous models of depth cue integration have been proposed. Of particular interest is how the visual system processes discrepent cues, as might arise when viewing synthetic displays. A powerful paradigm for examining this integration process can be adapted from manual control research. This methodology introduces independent disturbances in the candidate cues, then performs spectral analysis of subjects' resulting motoric responses (e.g., depth matching). We will describe this technique and present initial findings.
