See(?) And Avoid
Yesterday at Urs's FLARM presentation at the PASCO seminar, he
demonstrated some of the the fallibility of the human eye/visual recognition system with a few videos, which were really ....eye opening. Hopefully a recorded (and edited, since it almost spiraled into a ras debate a few times...) video is posted soon since it has so many answers people are craving and is an illuminating presentation, focusing on how this system addresses and helps augment these built in limitations of our physiology. Among several other vids was this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJG698U2Mvo -note: let it buffer all the way first, without letting it run, then watch it full screen and really count! I had just saved some links of optical illusions that to varying degrees demonstrate some of the limitations of the eye, which is not as reliable as I once thought... http://videogames.yahoo.com/events/b...ion-25/1416088 -blind spot, eek... http://videogames.yahoo.com/events/b...sion-5/1400321 -relative shades http://videogames.yahoo.com/events/b...ion-14/1408013 -implied green http://videogames.yahoo.com/events/b...sion-3/1400187 -false center http://videogames.yahoo.com/events/b...ion-15/1408125 -false spiral http://videogames.yahoo.com/events/b...ion-22/1414565 -implied square http://videogames.yahoo.com/events/b...ion-19/1412692 -parallel lines http://videogames.yahoo.com/events/b...sion-6/1400351 -parallels http://videogames.yahoo.com/events/b...ion-18/1412564 -wiggling ovals -Paul |

See(?) And Avoid
Glad someone posted those links. A real eye opener...
Those who still believe that See and avoid should work, should try these tests. Especially the counting test demonstrates what can happen when we focus on soaring clues such as the clouds or terrain ahead.
