If you are following an object, the saccades routine itself is put on hold and you get more or less continuous eye motion, complete with smooth focus and field-of-view adjustments. I'm doing this for fun when walking alongside slow-rolling cars - the end result occasionally "looks like" a tracking shot straight out of a movie.
Edit: ...OK, field-of-view doesn't vary that much, unless you are Colonel Steve Austin with the telephoto augmentation.
- mwint 4y agoNot following an object - this is the procedure: 1. Put LED at the bottom of vision 2. Look below LED, so now it’s at the top of vision 3. There’s a trail of light for a fraction of a second, seeming to start from the bottom of vision to the top. I’m not smoothly tracking anything, just looking at one point and then another. I can clearly see the on-off duty cycles, and I’ve been playing with training myself to estimate frequencies with this method.
- rzzzt 4y agoHmm. I see something similar when looking quickly at or away from bright text (eg. end credits) on a DLP projector; it will get split into its constituent colors in the direction of my eye's movement. I guess the "double buffering" functionality does not completely shield one from experiencing the interim flashes.
- A_No_Name_Mouse 4y agoThat's what I do as well with tail lights of cars. There is a clear distinction between LED and normal lights: the LED's form a trail of dots.
