DYNAMIC VISUAL ACUITY IN AN APPLIED SETTING

Abstract

A Navy AD-5 (attack bomber) was used to fly subjects over targets (Landolt C's) at angular velocities decelerating from 20, 75, and 110 degrees per second. The dynamic acuity of each subject was then tested in the laboratory using constant angular velocities comparable to those above. Exposure times in the air were the same as those in the laboratory. The results of these tests are compared and implications of the relationships are discussed. (Author)
