Human θ Oscillations Related to Sensorimotor Integration and Spatial Learning (2003, background): “Virtual reality has been used extensively in recent years to study human spatial behavior (Klatzky et al., 1998; Redlick et al., 2001; Warren et al., 2001; Lambrey et al., 2002) (E.”
The Accuracy and Precision of Position and Orientation Tracking in the HTC Vive Virtual Reality System for Scientific Research (2017, background): “Other examples of studies for which these problems are fatal are the study of the perception of travel distance (Frenz & Lappe, 2005) or the investigation of cue use during walking through systematic manipulations of optic ﬂow (e.g., Li et al., 2014; Warren et al., 2001).”
Virtual reality in behavioral neuroscience and beyond (2002, neutral): “For example, we tested whether people rely on optic flow or egocentric position to guide locomotor behavior to a goal by presenting physically impossible motion patterns to walking observers 11 .”
The dynamics of perception and action. (2006, background): “…observer travels faster or as there is more visual structure, steering will be increasingly dominated by the optic flow, consistent with experimental evidence (Fink & Warren, 2002; M. G. Harris & Carre, 2001; Warren et al., 2001; Wilkie & Wann, 2002; Wood, Harvey, Young, Beedie, & Wilson, 2000).”
Recognition of natural scenes from global properties: Seeing the forest without representing the trees (2008, neutral): “The global properties of navigability and concealment directly measure two types of human–environment interactions deemed to be important to natural scene perception from previous work ([Appelton, 1975], [Gibson, 1958], [Gibson, 1979], [Kaplan, 1992] and [Warren et al., 2001]).”
Behavioral dynamics of steering, obstacle avoidance, and route selection. (2003, background): “These angles are visually available to the agent, and there is evidence that both the object-relative heading specified by optic flow and the egocentric direction of a goal with respect to the locomotor axis contribute to the visual control of locomotion (Li & Warren, 2002; Rushton et al., 1998; War”
