A virtual airplane for fear of flying therapy
Larry F Hodges, Barbara O Rothbaum, Benjamin Watson +2
Fear of flying is a serious problem that affects millions of individuals. Exposure therapy for fear of flying is an effective therapy technique. However, exposure therapy is also e…
Managing level of detail through peripheral degradation: Effects on search performance with a head-mounted display
Benjamin Watson, Neff Walker, Larry F Hodges +1
Two user studies were performed to evaluate the effect of level-of-detail (LOD) degradation in the periphery of head-mounted displays on visual search performance. In the first stu…
Supra-threshold control of peripheral LOD
Benjamin Watson, Neff Walker, Larry F Hodges
Level of detail (LOD) is widely used to control visual feedback in interactive applications. LOD control is typically based on perception at threshold - the conditions in which a s…
Managing level of detail through head-tracked peripheral degradation: a model and resulting design principles
Benjamin Watson, Neff Walker, Larry F Hodges
Previous work has demonstrated the utility of reductions in the level of detail (LOD) in the periphery of head-tracked, large field of view displays. This paper provides a psychoph…
An evaluation of level of detail degradation in head-mounted display peripheries
Benjamin Watson, Neff Walker, Larry F Hodges +1
A paradigm for the design of systems that manage level of detail in virtual environments is proposed. As an example of the prototyping step in this paradigm, a user study was perfo…
