A Review of Dynamic Visual Acuity.

Abstract

In many everyday situations relative motion exists between human beings and the visual information which they must acquire and resolve in order to perform their tasks successfully. In particular, tasks, such as flying aircraft, driving automobiles and other vehicles, and resolving moving information presented via visual displays, impose a requirement on the human operator to process moving information. Since Dynamic Visual Acuity (DVA) is a critical visual skill involved in performing such visual tasks, the present review was undertaken in order to better understand the visual skill and to provide a basis for continuing research in this area.
