Using the Manikin's Visual Cone

This describes the movement of the eyes of a manikin.

To reproduce the human sight with better accuracy, in the model, the camera does not follow the line of sight orientation. In other words, the central spot (which corresponds to the line of sight) moves inside the Vision Window following the eyes motion. With this model, it was very important to make a clear distinction between the field of view and Vision Cone.

Before you begin: Have a manikin in your scenario, and the window open.
