Measurement and analysis of influence of spatial and temporal frequency on visually induced human self-rotation perception for virtual reality

Large-field visual motion stimulation often induces self-motion perception. In particular, one can sense apparent self-rotation when viewing a rotating visual pattern, which called circular vection (CV). If CV can be scaled, there are practical implications for equipment design, especially for virtual reality devices and simulators. So we investigated the dependence of CV on the spatial frequency, temporal frequency, and velocity of visual stimulus.
