Sports broadcast videos only present a limited viewing area compared to the actual field of view experienced when watching games at stadiums. Since human visual characteristics excel at motion perception in peripheral vision areas, broadcast videos are considered to have significantly reduced speed sensation stimuli compared to the actual experience.
We propose a system that enhances the sense of speed by installing LED arrays dedicated to motion presentation around the screen periphery and controlling LED illumination in synchronization with movements in the video. In evaluation experiments, we used racing game footage and displayed LEDs around the screen periphery according to the vehicle’s movement direction and speed. When we asked subjects to evaluate their subjective sense of speed, we confirmed that the LED display improved the sense of speed.

This method can also be applied to motion control through stimuli presentation in peripheral vision areas.
