Abstract
This is the first article from a project aimed at developing a new type of theory for visual space perception. The article is limited to the first basic part of this theory: the wide-angle recording of slants of plane surfaces under self-motion. This article is composed of two parts. The first part presents the theory for wide-angle slant perception. Its approach must be characterized as unique in the sense that it utilizes the hemispheric form of the retina. It ends up with an analogue to visual slant perception in the form of a three-dimensional metrical specification of slant information in the optic flow. The second part of the article describes three experiments supporting the theory.Keywords
