Visual effects on the subjective visual vertical and subjective postural head vertical during static roll‐tilt

Abstract

ObjectivesTilt perception is part of the perception of spatial orientation. It is determined not only by the allocentric gravity axis, but also by a second allocentric axis induced by visual information as well as by the egocentric body (head) axis induced by somatosensory information. The aim of this study was to quantify roll‐tilt perception using the subjective visual vertical (SVV) and the newly developed subjective postural head vertical (SPHV) and to investigate the visual effects on both during static roll‐tilt.Study DesignBasic scienceMethodsNine male volunteers participated in this study. A flight simulator was used to create several roll‐tilt environments that were then combined with visual information. SVV and SPHV were evaluated in healthy participants during static roll‐tilt.ResultsThe SVV evaluation revealed significant differences between the dark condition (control) and other visual conditions with respect to some of the body roll‐tilt environments, and between a body roll‐tilt of 0° and ≥ 20°. The SPHV evaluation revealed a significant difference between the dark condition and the visual condition that was always roll‐tilted 20° to the right of the body axis. However, there were no significant differences in SPHV error between a body roll‐tilt of 0° and other tilt angles for every visual condition, unlike SVV error.ConclusionsOur data indicate that human susceptibility to spatial disorientation is dependent on roll‐tilt angle and visual information. They also suggest that the SPHV is not affected by roll‐tilt angle, and thus differs from SVV.Level of EvidenceNA

Application of New Media Big Data in Visual Performance of Axonometric Illustration

“…The axonometric projection can be divided into three types: the isometric projection, the dimetric projection and the trimetric projection [ 19 ]. As shown in Figures 4 , 5 and 6 , the isometric projection: the scaling coefficients of the three coordinate axes shortened by the perspective method are equal, and the angle between any two coordinate axes is 120 degrees.…”

A Classification Method for Unrecognized Spatial Disorientation Based on Perceptual Process

“…Human correctly cognize position, movement, and orientation from three systems [17]: the visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive system [18]. Information, no matter from which system, processed in the brain, is usually divided into three steps: sensation, perception, and cognition [10] (FIGURE 2.).…”
