Low Vision
I am currently involved in studies that evaluate the impact of tunnel vision on the regulation of locomotion and avoidance of obstacles.
My interest in low vision research dates back to my training back in the Netherlands. Together with Berry den Brinker, I determined the visual requirements of reading print with a CCTV-magnifier (most people with low vision need to use such a device or a very similar one). I studied the regulation of hand (magnifier) and eye movements for reading prose. Subsequently, I worked with Gordon Legge to study the impact of low vision on the retrieval of information from the internet and evaluated the design of a “virtual magnifier” to help people in such activities.
