THE TECHNOLOGY OF EVALUATION A PERSON'S ABILITY TO PERCEIVE AND NAVIGATE IN SPACE
The technology of evaluation a person's ability to perceive and navigate in space. V.V. Rozhentsov, V.Е. Afon'shin. A camcorder and light emitters, which are controlled by a computer, are placed on a horizontal surface at a predetermined height. The light emitters are used to create three or more light spots on a horizontal surface. The tastee is placed in the center of the contour that envelops the light spots. The area, direction and speed of the light spots are changed randomly, with a software and within a specified time. The testee evaluates transformation and movements of light spots and changes his position so as to be in the center of contour that envelops the light spots. The camera shoots the transformation and movements of the light spots and the testee. The video is transmitted to the computer which periodically calculates the position of the center of the contour enveloping light spots, and the center position of the testee's place, and the distance between the centers, and the arithmetic mean calculated distances since there are the changes of the area, direction or velocity of the light spots. The value of the arithmetic mean helps to evaluate a person's ability to perceive and navigate in space.
