[visionlist] VSS 2011 Call for Demos

[Vision Sciences Society]

VSS is pleased to announce that the 9th Annual Visual Demos Evening at VSS
will be Monday, May 9, 2011, from 7:30 - 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. 

The Demo Night committee is seeking dramatic, provocative, educational, and
entertaining demonstrations of visual phenomena, new and old. Especially
encouraged is 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
any other necessary equipment for their own demos, including data projectors
and other displays.

Once again, 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 will be held from 5:00 to 7:00 at the
Philharmonic Center for the Arts.

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 10:00 at the Naples Grande.

You can present at both Demo Night and the Best Illusion of the Year
Contest.
