optokinesis

Etymology

From opto- + -kinesis.

noun

  1. The movement of the eye in response to an external stimulus“Another point to consider is that in binocular viewing, smooth pursuit follows flow of scene elements at the depth of the point of fixation, which means that in a real 3D environment optokinesis may also incorporate depth information by tracking retinal image elements with zero disparity, making stereo vision potentially relevant for steering (see discussion in [22 ]).”
