Abstract
High-speed vision systems, which provide high frame rate visual information in real time, are becoming widely used. Since the high-speed visual information is too fast for humans to recognize directly in real time, these systems are mainly used to control artificial systems such as robots. Contrary to this trend, we attempt to provide the high-speed visual information directly to humans so that they can respond to fast motional phenomena in real time. In this paper, we discuss the effect of an air hockey gaming system that displays predictive information of the puck trajectory by using a high-speed vision system. The results show that displaying the future trajectory of the puck significantly helps the assisted player. The results also suggested that humans optimize their strategy in utilizing the available predictive information depending on given tasks.
