Pedestrian Guidance by Lateral Optic Flow Using Peripheral Vision Display

Abstract

We presented the lateral optical flow for forward direction to the peripheral vision, and then gave the body sway by vibrating subject's foot. We expect the change of walking direction toward opposite of the self-motion sensation because of the decayed somato-sensory feeling. From experimental results, there is a difference between right and left to the guiding effect, the effect appears dependent on right and left foot take in stimulus presentation time.
