The Luscher Color Test

The Luscher Color Test
If you look closely -- very closely -- at your computer monitor, you will see that each pixel is made up of three cells. One cell illuminates in red, another in green and the third in blue. This is sometimes referred to as an RGB monitor. By varying the amount of each of these colors, the human eye can be tricked to see a spectrum of colors, including white and black. The human eye has color receptors called cones. Because these primary colors occur frequently in nature, they have corresponding psychological properties that can change our behavior and emotions. Red Because our blood is red, this color attracts our attention the most. The psychological value of red is associated with fear, anger, danger, heightened awareness, and increased sexual energy. Red is the color that is traditionally given to the lowest chakra, or energy vortex in the human body. Being in a red painted room has a confining effect as red appears closer to the observer than other colors. Variations of Red

SiteTimer About SiteTimer Web Monitor allows you to monitor how long it takes for a user to download one or more of your web site pages. It visits the page that your request and downloads all content that's directly linked from that page; Images Frames IFrames Script files It follows redirects As the pages are downloaded, SiteTimer stores statistics on how long time each item takes to download, and how much data they contained. This information is then presented in a grid. Web Monitor correctly handles http compressed material (see OctaGate Switch), and it also honors keep-alive requests to give an accurate indication of the times a real browser would spend downloading the content. Optimizing your site Your page shouldn't take too long to load, slow load speeds will lead to users leaving your pages even though they're interested in the material. The size of the page is the main deciding factor for download times, coupled with bandwidth. Decrease the size of your images: Use JPG instead of GIF or BMP.

Jina's Field Prelim: Arnheim, visual thinking Arnheim, Rudolf. 1969. Visual Thinking. University of California Press. (all) Early Stirrings The book starts with talking about the prejudicial discrimination between perception and thinking. Optical illusion Drawing a connecting bar between the two squares shows that they are the same shade. An optical illusion (also called a visual illusion) is characterized by visually perceived images that differ from objective reality. The information gathered by the eye is processed in the brain to give a perception that does not tally with a physical measurement of the stimulus source. There are three main types: literal optical illusions that create images that are different from the objects that make them, physiological ones that are the effects on the eyes and brain of excessive stimulation of a specific type (brightness, colour, size, position, tilt, movement), and cognitive illusions, the result of unconscious inferences. Physiological illusions[edit] The Hermann grid illusion and Mach bands are two illusions that are best explained using a biological approach.

Viperlib - Visual Perception Library 2 Chairs for Viperlib Viperlib have been busy, so busy we had to build another chair ! This has been used all over the UK and will be at VSS 2013 As usual the pictures are on facebook to reach as wie an audience as possible. ECVP Alghero Apologies for the slight delay in getting pictures of the Beuchet chair available. they will be posted on our facebook page as soon as possible. Big Bang! All the pictures of the magic chair we took at the Big Bang event at Elvington Airfield on Thursday 5th July are now available. Winners ! We won the VSS demo night competition with our chair. VSS Demo Night Winners 2011 Demo night at VSS this year was bigger and better than ever. Well done to both winners.

NTT-MIT: Image Based Synthetic Aperture Rendering We are also developing low-cost devices for acquiring light fields. Not only does this effort provide direct benefits for our research, but it also provides many new opportunities. The small size and portability of this system allows us to easily acquire outdoor light fields of natural scenes, and it is also currently our fastest acquisition device. In order to minimize cost we chose to use an off-the-shelf flatbed scanner as the digitizing element, in combination with a plastic lens array. However, intrinsic properties of scanner limit their use for acquiring images.

Color Dictionary Grâce à la standardisation ISCC-NBS, les chercheurs du NBS ont étudié les noms de couleurs utilisés au sein d'un certain nombre de nuanciers, et ont rapproché ces noms des centroïdes ISCC-NBS. En a résulté une table de 5411 noms que vous trouverez ci-dessous. Vous noterez que pour certains noms existent un grand nombre de centroïdes correspondants. David Mundie est à l'origine de ce tableau. Le numéro qui s'affiche au survol des échantillons de couleur correspond au centroïde associé. The color order was mixed and contained duplicates. Partial color names in brackets is a shorthand for two color names with the same characteristics used interchangeably: bordeaux 15 bordeaux red 15 is in the dictionary as bordeaux [red] 15 Entries for the same dictionary color from different sources will be combined here only if the color set is the same: bois de rose(M) 19 bois de rose(TC) 19 results in bois de rose(M,TC) 19 The Mundie entry was bittersweet orange 51 35 50 37

Color-Name Dictionaries Introduction Color dictionaries are created for several purposes: Standardized color names facilitate specification, purchase, and use of colored goods, markers, etc. Names Color dictionaries for field work must be small enough to make reasonably quick determinations. Larger dictionaries which range into the thousands were created for identifying paints or inks. idiosyncratic in this article. Colors Color dictionaries should provide a means for specifying colors independent of the gamut limitations of displays and printers, but all the online materials I found in 2001 used RGB coordinates or unconvertable denotations. More problematical is the approach to color assignment taken by most of the authors. The limitations of the print gamut result primarily from the physics of reflecting light. Although not completely free of limitations, pure primary light sources are more practical. Catalogs To the left is a portion of the html-4 catalog. To the right is a portion of the saturate catalog.
