Gibson's inspired but latent prelude to visual motion perception.
Gibson's 1954 article is paradoxical: This forward-looking review of visual motion perception anticipates developments in the field, yet those developments were achieved without closely following Gibson's footsteps. This commentary offers several possible reasons for the dormancy of Gibson's ideas about motion perception and evaluates contemporary work on motion perception in the context of Gibson's perspective.
