Journal ArticleDOI

Humans integrate visual and haptic information in a statistically optimal fashion.

TL;DR: The nervous system seems to combine visual and haptic information in a fashion that is similar to a maximum-likelihood integrator, and this model behaved very similarly to humans in a visual–haptic task.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vergence-accommodation conflicts hinder visual performance and cause visual fatigue.

TL;DR: This display is used to evaluate the influence of focus cues on perceptual distortions, fusion failures, and fatigue and shows that when focus cues are correct or nearly correct, the time required to identify a stereoscopic stimulus is reduced, stereoacuity in a time-limited task is increased, and distortions in perceived depth are reduced.
Journal ArticleDOI

The zone of comfort: Predicting visual discomfort with stereo displays

TL;DR: This work focused on how vergence-accommodation conflicts in stereo displays affect visual discomfort and fatigue, and found that negative conflicts are less comfortable at far distances and that positive conflicts are more comfortable at near distances.
Journal ArticleDOI

Combining Sensory Information: Mandatory Fusion Within, but Not Between, Senses

TL;DR: It is reported that single-cue information is indeed lost when cues from within the same sensory modality (disparity and texture gradients in vision) are combined, but not when different modalities (vision and haptics) are Combined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Slant from texture and disparity cues: optimal cue combination.

TL;DR: There is a growing empirical consensus that MLE provides a good quantitative account of cue combination and that sensory information is used in a manner that maximizes the precision of perceptual estimates.
