Figure 1: Subject wearing stereoscopic glasses coupled with an oculomotor tracking device:
- motion tracker
- stereoscopic glasses
- oculomotor tracking system
- a virtual object in wired frame
- a virtual measurement point (VMP)
- a gaze radial angular deviation (GRAD) from the VMP
Basically, our project is about merging science, art and therapy, and reaping the emerging fruits in the process. We are developing a method to probe perceptual-motor dynamics from the first-person stance. We collaborate with 3D artists to create virtual objects to address fundamental and clinical research questions. With the objectives of assessing and treating diverse psychopathologies, and notably sexual deviancies, these developments are then tested in clinical settings.
