Question

If you are wearing goggles that displace objects 30 degrees to the right, predict what will happen if you try to walk along a straight line on the floor. Explain why you think this will happen.

Answer 1

So, what do YOU think?

We do not do your homework for you. Although it might take more effort to do the work on your own, you will profit more from your effort. We will be happy to evaluate your work though.

Answer 2

Yes I know thank you, this is what I have:


If you try to walk a straight line you will actually be walking on angle, 30 degrees to your right. The line in which you walk will still be straight but you will be walking diagonally. Because you are aware that you are wearing the glasses that alter your vision, your brain may use cognitive factors to try and make up for this and you may not walk on as much of an angle. This may happen because although you perceive objects to be further to your right than they actually are, you know that these goggles are impacting your vision and that you should try to correct your walking so that you walk in a straight line on the floor.

Answer 3

You would walk 30º to the right, but you will not adapt to the glasses, even trying to correct you perception, until using them for an extended period of time.

I hope this helps.
