Using The Manikin's Visual Cone

This describes the movement of the eyes of a Manikin.

In order to reproduce the human vision with more accuracy, in this new vision model, the camera doesn't follow the line of sight orientation anymore. In other words, the central spot (which corresponds to the line of sight) moves inside the Vision Window following the eyes motion. With this vision model, it was very important to make a clear distinction between field of view and Vision Cone.

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