The Peripheral Visual Cue Assessment Facility was established to study various responses to controlled dynamic stimuli that could be considered as visual analogs of some real world counterparts such as the horizon. Careful stimulus control permits specific responses to be traced to specific stimulus dynamics. The ability of the visual system to assess various kinds of stimulus motion is examined. A major emphasis is placed upon the peripheral vision field, which plays an important role in a pilot's assessment of where he is in space, where he is going, how fast he is travelling, and what angular and linear rates of movement is taking place. The facility was designed to be able to carry out carefully controlled psychophysical vision research over a wide angular range.
