    Abstract

    An important aim of prosthetic vision, specifically a retinal implant, is facilitating mobility in individuals with vision impairment. Depth represented as intensity shows promise as a visual representation in simulated vision being effective for navigating controlled indoor environments with and without overhanging obstacles1 an important hazard in impaired vision. However, little is known about how differing complexity of environment impacts on navigation using a depth representation which we will investigate using a new methodology with simulated prosthetic vision.
