Peripheral Vision Interface becomes crucial to many car manufacturers to avoid driver distractions.
What is Peripheral Vision Interface?
Our eyes tend to focus on objects from which it takes precise details. This is the foveal vision, however to achieve this, brain needs to have a mental model conceived, for which the peripheral vision interface supports by giving a general idea of all the features available for driving.
Peripheral vision is what you can see from corner of your eyes. It helps an eye capture more details of other car’s passing by and at same time the focus remains on front while driving. It compliments the central vision for better decision making.
