| PERIPHERAL FIELD LOSS AND THE COMPRESSION OF VISUAL SPACE | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
In this study participants were required to learn the locations of six statues in a virtual simulation of our laboratory and then, after the statues were removed, walk from the starting position to each of the remembered statue locations. Throughout the experiment the participants’ FOV were artificially restricted to 10°, 20°, or 40° in diameter. We found that as the FOV of the participants decreased, the participants increasingly underestimated the distance to the three farthest statue locations but not the three closest statue locations, suggesting a compression of visual space that increases with distance from the observer. |
