Visual Field

The visual field, is the potential area a given individual can see, without moving their eyes. It comprises both central vision and peripheral vision, and, for immersive VR, is the minimum area the display feedback must encompass. For humans, the max visual field is typically, when looking straight ahead, 60 degrees towards the nose, and 100 degrees away from the nose (total of 160 degrees for each eye) in the horizontal direction, and 60 degrees above and below, vertically.

Any movement, or sudden light in this range will be caught by the eye, without necessitating any movement. This is why an immersive VR has to cover this range at minimum.

Below, we offer a selection of links from our resource databases which may match this term.

An Introduction to: Genetically Personalised Medicine
Genetically personalised medicine - the naescent field of pharmacogenetics - is starting to make its impact felt. This field is part of the hospital in the home phenomenon so vital to long-term immersion use, for the physical shell.

Resource List: Visual AR Development
Visual augmented reality elements are amongst the simplest AR elements to integrate into the physical environment. That said, tracking and adjusting for a continually changing user viewpoint, without it becoming obvious that the data is superimposed from VR, is a major undertaking.

Cystal [eye]ball: Precognitive Eyes are Normal
It takes our brain nearly one-tenth of a second to translate the light that hits our retina into a visual perception of the world around us. Because of the 10th of a second delay, an Assistant Professor has developed a case arguing that our visual system needs to do more than just report current events - it needs to see the future as well.
