Abstract:
We examined the property of wind direction perception at the frontal region of the head to find a guideline for optimal wind source arrangement. In previous experiments, localized winds produced by a single compact fan were used as stimuli. Such a localized wind is rather different from the natural uniform wind in a real environment. Because the subjects might be able to judge the wind direction based on the facial region hit by the wind, the performance of discriminating the direction of a localized wind may be different from that for a uniform wind. Thus, in this study, we examined the human ability to discriminate the wind direction using a uniform wind that covered the entire face and compared the result with that for a localized wind. We measured the Just Noticeable Difference (JND) in wind direction perception and found that there was a significant difference between the JND for a uniform wind and that for a localized wind.
