Period 9 Maher

Perception of Movement (stroboscopic motion)

definition: the process of inferring the speed and direction of objects based on visual input at periodic intervals.

example: When you are in the car, you can tell how far away something is to you based on how long it takes for it to pass. A mailbox would pass a lot quicker than say the moon would.

This picture shows how when the passenger focuses on a single point, he can tell how fast he is going and/or how far away something is.
