We summarize the various strands of research on peripheral vision and relate them to
theories of form perception. After a historical overview, we describe quantifications of the …

This review discusses several pervasive myths about peripheral vision, as well as what is
actually true: Peripheral vision underlies a broad range of visual tasks, in spite of its …

Virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) are expected to revolutionise entertainment,
healthcare, communication and the manufacturing industries among many others. Near‐eye …

Crowding, the inability to recognize objects in clutter, sets a fundamental limit on conscious
visual perception and object recognition throughout most of the visual field. Despite how …

Recent increased usage of stereo displays has been accompanied by public concern about
potential adverse effects associated with prolonged viewing of stereo imagery. There are …

Crowding, generally defined as the deleterious influence of nearby contours on visual
discrimination, is ubiquitous in spatial vision. Crowding impairs the ability to recognize …

It is now emerging that vision is usually limited by object spacing rather than size. The visual
system recognizes an object by detecting and then combining its features.'Crowding'occurs …

The right hemispheric lateralization of face recognition, which is well documented and
appears to be specific to the human species, remains a scientific mystery. According to a …

A letter in the peripheral visual field is much harder to identify in the presence of nearby
letters. This is “crowding.” Both crowding and ordinary masking are special cases of …

Peripheral vision provides a less faithful representation of the visual input than foveal vision.
Nonetheless, we can gain a lot of information about the world from our peripheral vision, for …
