The visual perception of 3D shape.
A fundamental problem for the visual perception of 3D shape is that patterns of optical stimulation are inherently ambiguous. Recent mathematical analyses have shown, however, that these ambiguities can be highly constrained, so that many aspects of 3D structure are uniquely specified even though others might be underdetermined. Empirical results with human observers reveal a similar pattern of...
متن کاملHaptic Categorical Perception of Shape
Categorization and categorical perception have been extensively studied, mainly in vision and audition. In the haptic domain, our ability to categorize objects has also been demonstrated in earlier studies. Here we show for the first time that categorical perception also occurs in haptic shape perception. We generated a continuum of complex shapes by morphing between two volumetric objects. Usi...
متن کاملAging and the haptic perception of 3D surface shape
Two experiments evaluated the ability of older and younger adults to perceive the three-dimensional (3D) shape of object surfaces from active touch (haptics). The ages of the older adults ranged from 64 to 84 years, while those of the younger adults ranged from 18 to 27 years. In Experiment 1, the participants haptically judged the shape of large (20 cm diameter) surfaces with an entire hand. I...
متن کاملThe visual and haptic perception of natural object shape.
In this study, we evaluated observers' ability to compare naturally shaped three-dimensional (3-D) objects, using their senses of vision and touch. In one experiment, the observers haptically manipulated 1 object and then indicated which of 12 visible objects possessed the same shape. In the second experiment, pairs of objects were presented, and the observers indicated whether their 3-D shape ...
متن کاملTouch disambiguates rivalrous perception at early stages of visual analysis
of the same orientation as one of the two rival visual stimuli. Visual stimuli were orthogonal Gabor Patches (oriented vertically or horizontally), displayed alternatively to the two eyes; the haptic stimulus was a sinusoidal grooved Plexiglas, matched in spatial frequency with the visual gratings; subjects could see neither their hand nor the stimulus they touched (for more details see Supplem...
