Description

The role of peripheral vision while walking is clarified by comparing two experiments. The first studies visual behavior within a normal visual field and the second is conducted within a restricted visual field. In the first experiment the subject navigates a corridor and staircase wearing an eye camera, while in the second the same task is performed wearing a mask developed by the authors which has two small eye perforations restricting peripheral vision. A comparison of the results of the two experiments reveals the following behavior traits when the visual field is restricted: 1. a tendency to look at the boundary between floor and wall when walking in a specified direction; 2. taking a detour when turning a corner; 3. reaching short of a step or of a doorknob by the foot or hand; 4. extreme slowing down before descending a staircase; 5. sliding the foot to find the first step before ascending. These findings clarify how peripheral vision helps in perceiving distance and spatial relationships between a body in motion and its surroundings.
