Perception of egocentric distance via optic flow generated by head movement towards a disk shaped target was tested using a helmet mounted video camera and miniature video display. 4 participants reached to place a stylus in the target rapidly and accurately. Ability to perceive distance was assessed by analyzing reach trajectories. Performance in 6 viewing conditions was compared: patch-light viewing with a moving or static camera, fully lit viewing with a moving camera, viewing through a tube with and without preceding camera viewing, and normal monocular viewing. Distance was perceived with a moving camera but was underestimated with a restricted field.
