Abstract
Abstract A system for monitoring viewer response to visual stimuli having two slide projectors keyed for the simultaneous slide transport and optional viewing modes. The procedure includes projecting images from one slide projector, as seen at a normal viewing distance and providing viewer control for selectively switching to the other slide projector for projecting an enlarged close-up view of the same image. A recording apparatus is included for denoting the subject matter viewed in the enlarged format.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
80 words
A method for determining viewer response to visual stimuli comprising the steps of (a) presenting programmed visual stimuli in a viewing mode having a sequential display of images for simulating a realistic environment as experienced by the viewer including a corresponding display of images in an alternate viewing mode, (b) providing viewer selection control for activating the alternate viewing mode, and (c) registering selection control of the alternate viewing mode as a measure of viewer response to the visual stimuli.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
80 words
A method for determining viewer response to visual stimuli comprising the steps of (a) presenting programmed visual stimuli in a viewing mode having a sequential display of images for simulating a realistic environment as experienced by the viewer including a corresponding display of images in an alternate viewing mode, (b) providing viewer selection control for activating the alternate viewing mode, and (c) registering selection control of the alternate viewing mode as a measure of viewer response to the visual stimuli.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
A method for determining viewer response to visual stimuli as claimed in claim 1 wherein the stimuli are presented using plural image display systems, said display systems being simultaneously operable and selectively viewable.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
41 words
A method for determing viewer response to visual stimuli as claimed in claim 2 wherein the image display systems include dual slide projectors with each slide projector having corresponding slide images with said slide projectors being interfaced for simultaneous slide transport.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
52 words
A method for determining viewer response to visual stimuli as claimed in claim 3 wherein one of said slide projectors is adapted for projecting images as viewed from a predetermined camera range and the other of said slide projectors is adapted for projecting corresponding images as viewed from an alternate camera range.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
42 words
A method for determining viewer response to visual stimuli as claimed in claim 4 wherein each of said slide projectors is provided with illumination means for projecting slide images, said illumination means being independently activated and responsive to the selected viewing mode.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
27 words
A method for determining viewer response to visual stimuli as claimed in claim 5 further including printing means for recording viewer selection of the alternate viewing mode.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
60 words
An apparatus for determining viewer response to visual stimuli comprising a plural image display system having first projection means for displaying a series of projected images, second projection means keyed to the first projection means for displaying a series of related alternate images, and viewer command means for selectively activating said second projection means to display the related alternate images.
Claim 9
Independent Claim
60 words
An apparatus for determining viewer response to visual stimuli comprising a plural image display system having first projection means for displaying a series of projected images, second projection means keyed to the first projection means for displaying a series of related alternate images, and viewer command means for selectively activating said second projection means to display the related alternate images.
Claim 10
Independent Claim
57 words
An apparatus for determining viewer response to visual stimuli including a pair of slide projectors, plurality of photographic slide sets, the slides in each set presenting matched images, said projectors being interfaced for simultaneously registering the matched images of each set for projection, control means for selectively projecting the slide images of either of said slide projectors.
Claim 11
Independent Claim
57 words
An apparatus for determining viewer response to visual stimuli including a pair of slide projectors, plurality of photographic slide sets, the slides in each set presenting matched images, said projectors being interfaced for simultaneously registering the matched images of each set for projection, control means for selectively projecting the slide images of either of said slide projectors.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
53 words
An apparatus for determining viewer response to visual stimuli as claimed in claim 8 wherein the slides in one of said projectors are programmed for projectinng images as viewed at a normal observation range, and the slides of the other projector being adapted for projecting enlarged images as viewed at a closeup range.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
26 words
An apparatus for determining viewer response to visual stimuli as claimed in claim 9 further including recording means for indicating when the enlarged images are viewed.
