Motion Detector

Motion Detector demonstrates how sensitive peripheral vision is to motion. While sitting with their head at the center of a large semi-circle, visitors can adjust an object, either moving or stationary, around the edge of the semi-circle. At a certain point, the object in the visitor's peripheral vision is no longer visible. If the object begins moving, however, visitors will become aware of it, even though could not see it while it was stationary.
