| This
is the picture the researchers used in their experiment. They viewed the
picture on a computer screen at different angles and conducted two types
of analysis to determine how their perception of the picture changed when
they viewed it from different vantage points. |
 |
| This
is how one of the researchers viewed the near points and far points of the
torso when viewed at different angles. The results reveal that the ridges
and ruts appeared the same no matter the vantage point for the observer. |

| This
shows the “gauge figure” analysis that the researchers did.
On the left picture, two gauges are shown. The right gauge shows a visual
fit, with the needle sticking out at right angles with the surface. This
is what the researchers were aiming for. In the middle is shown the immediate
results of one of these sessions. The right picture shows the results of
the analysis in profile. |
