Goggle Device for Measuring the Visually Perceived Direction of Space,

Abstract

A detailed description is given of a miniature line-target system that is illuminated by a radioactive source, collimated, and provided with suitable scales to indicate its position within the roll and pitch planes. These components are assembled in a light-weight goggle that can be precisely positioned by means of a biteboard attachment. Uses of the goggle in the measurements of the perceived direction of space under ordinary and extraordinary test conditions are illustrated. Modifications are suggested that can extend its usefulness. (Author)
