This phenomenon of perceiving apparent motion in successive images is due to a characteristic of human perception historically referred to as persistence of vision.

And that was that it freed up the perimeter of the auditorium in a most unusual way.

Language evolved to solve the crisis of visual theft.

A thalamic examination shows marked abnormality.

The SDIH is sometimes assumed to be a fundamental law of visual perception.

It's a really profound amount of nonverbal information that's communicated with the eyes.

We can actually study line of sight velocities of cosmic objects.

And the way this happens is through the phenomenon of persistence of vision.

And the way this happens is through the phenomenon of persistence of vision.

The theatre held about 900 people, and the stage was much bigger than the auditorium.

Its apex is located in the center of the lens and its base essentially at infinity in visual space.

It's used for studies, for visualization, as well as for education.

Suddenly the artistic director can move between different stage and audience configurations.

You notice that there is no proscenium, the balconies have been raised up, there are no seats, the floor in the auditorium is flat.

Now, what we can do with the spectra? We can actually study line of sight velocities of cosmic objects.

But there is also the potential to allow people to move directly from the outside, in this case suggesting kind of Wagnerian entrance, into the interior of the auditorium.

He designed the structure as an 'egg in a box', a term he used to describe the separation of the curved auditorium space from the surrounding building and the noise and vibration of the adjacent railway viaduct.

Inventor Nick Sears demos the first generation of the Orb, a rotating persistence of vision display that creates glowing 3D images. A short, cool tale of invention.

As it relates to the illusion of motion pictures, persistence of vision has less to do with vision itself than how it's interpreted in the brain.

And it's uncanny there's no way I can explain to you the amount of eye contact you get with that physical face projected on a 3D CRT of that sort.

You'd be able to open portions in order to change the procession, allow people to come in and out for an intermission, or to enter for the beginning or the end of a performance.

When you consider your body, then you feel that you are inside it ... but your body it is also an image inside your visual centers...

So this is a beautiful image of a visual interneuron from a mouse that came from Jeff Lichtman's lab, and you can see the wonderful images of brains that he showed in his talk.

All right, if this view of language and its value in solving the crisis of visual theft is true, any species that acquires it should show an explosion of creativity and prosperity.

He defined persistence of vision as the result of successive afterimages, which were retained and then combined in the retina, making us believe that what we were seeing is a single object in motion.

And so if language really is the solution to the crisis of visual theft, if language really is the conduit of our cooperation, the technology that our species derived to promote the free flow and exchange of ideas, in our modern world, we confront a question.

) Most people affected are elderly with visual impairments, however the phenomenon does not occur only in the elderly or in those with visual impairments it can also be caused by damage elsewhere in their optic pathway or brain.

Injuries and cataracts affect the eye itself, while abnormalities such as optic nerve hypoplasia affect the nerve bundle that sends signals from the eye to the back of the brain, which can lead to decreased visual acuity.

So here, I'm using a rendering algorithm to paint the frequencies of the song Smells Like Teen Spirit in a way that the eyes can take them in as a single visual impression, and the technique will also show the strengths of the visual cortex for pattern recognition.
