Self-motion perception facilities at York University. Allison, R. S., Harris, L. R., & Jenkin, M. R. M. In Fechner Day 2017 Conference Proceedings, The 33rd Annual Meeting of the International Society for Psychophysics, 22-26 October 2017, Fukuoka, Japan, volume 33, pages 360-361, 2017.

York University has a long history of research in the perception of self-motion and orientation using purpose-built apparatus. Recently we developed and installed new facilities including new, more capable versions of Ian Howard's tumbling room and sphere devices: (1) The wide field stereoscopic environment is a projected, computer-generated, virtual environment that completely fills the participant's visual field with edgeless, high-resolution imagery. (2) The new tumbling room allows for full 360 degree rotation of the observer or the visual environment with near perfect visual fidelity. The room walls, floor and ceiling can be removed allowing for locomotion in a cylindrical environment. (3) The sphere environment allows for presenting full-field visual motion displays in pitch, roll or yaw while in a wide range of postures with respect to gravity. This presentation will overview the capabilities and illusions elicited in these devices as well as experiments to cross-validate the devices.
