The Response Slider: An Inexpensive, Microprocessor Controlled Linear Potentiometer for Acquiring Multivariate Magnitude Estimation Data
Abstract
The present report describes and documents a component of the USAARL Virtual Reality Vection System (VRVS). The VRVS is a versatile, inexpensive, tool designed to investigate and characterize vection as a model of spatial disorientation (SD). In aviation, SD refers to the potentially catastrophic situation in which a pilot fails to correctly understand the position, motion, direction, or attitude of the aircraft with respect to the Earths surface. Vection is a form of SD that generates the feeling of motion in an individual who is not moving. Since vection can be reliably generated under controlled laboratory conditions, it is a convenient model to study, characterize, and demonstrate SD. The response slider is designed to record a measure of estimated vection magnitude as a function of stimulus duration. Poster presented at the Military Health System Research Symposium, 14-17 August, 2023 in Kissimmee, FL.
