Summary

Adding depth cues to visual displays does not improve self-motion perception during simulated eye rotations. Observers still misjudge their path, especially with distant targets, indicating depth information is not a solution.

Area of Science:

  • Visual perception
  • Human psychophysics
  • Navigation and motion perception

Background:

  • Accurate self-motion perception is crucial for navigation.
  • Rotational visual flow without extra-retinal signals impairs self-motion judgment.
  • Adding depth information was hypothesized to improve perception accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if adding depth information to visual displays improves self-motion perception accuracy.
  • To examine the role of stereoscopic and monocular depth cues in the presence of rotational flow.
  • To analyze the influence of response marker distance on perceived self-motion errors.

Main Methods:

  • Observers viewed random-dot displays with varying amounts of depth information.
  • Participants indicated their perceived self-motion path during simulated eye rotations.

  • Depth cues (stereoscopic, monocular) were systematically added to the displays.

    • Main Results:

    • Adding depth cues did not improve self-motion perception accuracy.
    • Observers consistently misperceived curved self-motion paths, with curvature matching eye rotation direction.
    • Perception errors were magnified with larger distances to the response marker.

    Conclusions:

    • Depth information offers little benefit in correcting self-motion misperception during simulated gaze rotations.
    • Errors likely stem from misattributing path-independent rotation to path-dependent self-motion.
    • Extra-retinal eye-velocity signals remain critical for accurate self-motion perception in complex visual scenes.
