Optical Motions and Transformations As Stimuli for Visual Perception
- Synopsis
- Describes dimensions of movement of geometric forms in terms of simple mathematical transformations. Presents a number of examples showing how such dimensions of movement arouse the perception of moving objects in three-dimensional space. The film is an exposition of some of J J Gibson’s research and is likely to be of value in advanced studies of the problem of perception, especially shape and size constancy.
