We occasionally get detailed descriptions of people’s personal experiences with Lazy Eye. If those contributors like, we publish them in an anonymised form…. Ich selber habe recht komplexe und wechselhafte Probleme mit der Augenkoordination und habe die Erfahrung gemacht, dass ich damit bei der aktuellen Lehrmeinung an Grenzen stosse und bei den Strabologen/Neuroopthalmologen, die ich…
The Kuleshov effect
The Kuleshov effect is a very abstract form of optical (perceptual) illusion occurring at a level in which we interpret facial expressions in the context of what is happening around them. It was discovered by a soviet film maker in the 1920s. Fascinating I’m sure you’ll agree : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuleshov_effect
Building EyeSkills in Unity
These are some coarse instructions to help you get started. Although they are for OSX it ought to be a similar process for Windows. git clone –recurse-submodules https://gitlab.eyeskills.org/community/EyeSkillsCommunityApp.git cd EyeSkillsCommunityApp/Assets/EyeSkills #The following will work on OSX/Linux. You can also just grab the .zip from https://cloud.eyeskills.org/s/GziZbNNWQAoyxXr and do the following steps manually wget -O out.zip https://cloud.eyeskills.org/s/GziZbNNWQAoyxXr/download…
A talk about EyeSkills at the 35th CCC!
After a stressful Christmas preparing this talk, it finally happened. Here’s an introduction to EyeSkills, what we’ve achieved, where we’re heading, and what we hope to achieve! Perhaps the most surprising thing about the talk was the resonance it created. We’ve had over thirty people sign up to help as volunteers, over 4 thousand views…
Another superb resource for getting an overview of the visual system
This Prof. Behnke is an impressive guy! Take a look at some of his projects. Wonderful to see this calibre of work, taking deeper inspiration from the neurobiology, being done in Computer Science. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/251299196_Neurobiological_Background
Some interesting neurological facts
I’m just reading Dowling’s “Understanding the Brain : From cells, to behaviour, to cognition”. Sometimes I’m surprised by what I’ve forgotten, and sometimes he surprises with facts I hadn’t been aware of – so just in case you hadn’t heard of them either, I’ll mention a few here as I come across them – and…
Time for a camera prototype… Soon
So, I’m really looking forward to experimenting with these, finally arrived from China. How cheaply could we retrofit a vr headset to include outward facing stereoscopic cameras? How cheaply could we implement a different kind of inward facing eye tracker (I suspect there are far more cost effective and patent free approaches than those currently…
Mittelstandskonferenz at the MOA 2018
Here I am in Berlin, with the Prototype team and a poster. Interesting discussions have been had, but most interesting for me, has been the interest in the project from conference participants who have noticed the strabismic eyes and come over to try it out. As usual, each person displays subtle but significant differences in…
EyeSkills presenting at the Mittelstandskonferenz 2018 – Berlin
EyeSkills will be in Berlin on the 19th and 20th of November at the Mittelstandskonferenz organised by the Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF).
EyeSkills will be presenting at the 35th CCC
This year, the famous Chaos Communications Congress will be holding its 35th meeting, in Leipzig Germany. Here is a description of the lecture I’ll be giving: We mostly see with the mind, and the mind is flexible. For the four hundred million people with Lazy Eye, their brain encountered an installation error when linking both…
