This study investigates how retinal flow affects walking trajectories in virtual reality, finding that ground-plane motion has a greater impact on path straightening than wall motion.

The paper shows blinks are synchronized with head movements to minimize visual input loss during natural gaze behavior.

The paper integrates eye tracking, motion capture, and photogrammetry to show that walkers use terrain structure to select paths, avoiding steep steps and planning flatter routes.

The paper measures retinal motion patterns during natural locomotion and explains how gaze location and behavior shape these patterns.

The paper examines how optic flow on the retina changes during natural locomotion and suggests it provides visual cues for foot placement but is less effective for steering.

The paper shows that humans select whole-body movements with minimum energetic cost by comparing movement cost in a dynamic model of the human skeleton.

The paper proposes a modular reinforcement learning model to estimate rewards and discount factors from human behavior data, enabling accurate prediction of navigation decisions in virtual reality.
