Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Under current funding from the EPSRC (2001-2004) we have been investigating the visual information used in steering.As part of this work we have developed a preliminary model where active gaze (where you look and when) is a key component in simplifying the available information and making the task of steering at high speed simple . The aim of this project is to develop the active gaze model beyond its current status and gain a greater understanding of how humans solve problems such as high speed steering with specific patterns of gaze sampling and visual processing. This type of analysis has the potential to feed into models of the skilled user and the design of assistive devices and the themes outlined overlap with research being undertaken by Volvo for in-car fatigue monitoring. The model also has the potential to feed into robotic control systems that seek to mimic the manner in which humans exploit the breadth of visual information available
