Journal ArticleDOI
Shape, motion, and optical cues to stiffness of elastic objects.
TL;DR: The results suggest that to estimate stiffness, the visual system strongly relies on measures of the extent to which an object changes shape in response to forces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inferring the stiffness of unfamiliar objects from optical, shape, and motion cues
TL;DR: The findings suggest participants integrate shape, motion, and optical cues to infer stiffness, with optical cues playing a major role for the range of stimuli.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seeing liquids from static snapshots.
TL;DR: It is shown that shape also provides powerful visual cues to material properties, distinguishing runny liquids that flow easily from viscous gels that clump up into piles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of material properties and object orientation on precision grip kinematics
TL;DR: It is found that conditions that make grasping more difficult lead to longer durations of individual movement segments and a more careful placement of the fingers on the object.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is concluded that although there are some qualitative differences between human and ideal search behavior, humans make principled adjustments in their search behavior as ambient light level decreases.
