[visionlist] VSS 2010 Call for Demos

[Vision Sciences Society]

VSS is pleased to announce that the 8th Annual Visual Demos Evening at VSS
will be Monday, May 10, 2010, from 7.00 - 10:00 pm at the Naples Grande
Hotel.  Demo Night is an informal celebration of the experiential phenomena
of vision science, with a diverse offering of visual demos. Dinner will be
served on the Sunset deck and pool area of the Naples Grande.

 

VSS is seeking dramatic, provocative, educational, and entertaining
demonstrations of visual phenomena, new and old. Especially encouraged are
the submission of demonstrations that transcend the bounds of the tabletop,
such as immersive experiences, and also ones that are "physical," that do
not rely on computer graphics. VSS and the Naples Grande can provide tables,
electrical outlets, and some wall space and/or screens for projections, and
poster boards upon request. The organizers will help coordinate special
needs (e.g., theatrical lighting). Each presenter will be responsible for
bringing and setting up the necessary equipment for their own demos,
including data projectors and other displays.

 

 
***NEW THIS YEAR***

Demo Night and the Best Illusion of the Year Contest (hosted by the Neural
Correlate Society) will both be held on the same night. 

 

                                    The Best Illusion of the Year Contest

                                    The Demo Night dinner will be held at
the Naples Grande from 7:00 - 9:00.

                                    Demo Night will be held from 7:30 to
