Peripheral Vision demonstrates the range of individual fields of vision. Visitors place their nose in the center of a half-moon shaped table and look at a point (indicated by a spring) across the surface of the table. A friend positions a wooden block off to the side of the table, far enough to the side so that it can't be detected. Either a word or a symbol is painted in color on the block. As the friend slides the block slowly around the edge of the table towards the center, visitors can first perceive motion, then color, then shape. The visitor will find that reading is possible only in the very center of the vision field.
