Vection

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Under vection (eng. Vection) refers to the effect that occurs when an observer sees a moving scene, thus giving the impression with him, he would move. The effect can be determined, for example, in a stationary train when another train starts on the siding. The observer gets the wrong impression that he himself is moving, namely at the same speed in the opposite direction.

use

Vection is used in particular in 3D simulations such as a flight simulator or a racing game simulator by giving the user the feeling of being in the simulated world using very large screens or projections . This effect is also used in special cinemas with screens that are so large that they fill the entire field of vision, e.g. B. in IMAX theaters.
