Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The usefulness of Virtual Environments (VEs) for training depends upon the accurate presentation of visual stimuli and user interaction to match realworld stimuli and real-world interaction. Restrictions in computational power often result in a trade-off between VE system characteristics. Latency is characterised as the time lag between a user's action in a Virtual Environment (VE) and the system's response to this action. Tracking and visual latency degrades the fidelity of a VE training system and has impacts on user productivity and performance. This proposed research is going to investigate reported latency detection under distinct latency intervals in a Virtual Environment, incorporating more than one artificial object. Also, the proposed research is going to explore whether latency detection by humans is going to disappear after a specific amount of exposure to a VE, with the brain adapting to those delays.
