Ambient Information Display Method Based upon Spatio-temporal Properties of Driver's Field of View

Abstract

We clarified properties of a visual pattern discriminable by peripheral vision and free from any effect on eye movement and accommodation by psychophysical experiments so as to realize an ambient information display neither entailing nor interfering with foveal vision. We obtained specifications of a visual pattern suitable for the ambient information display and discussed what kind of information may be transmitted using the proposed visual pattern which we named will-o'-the-wisp.
