VisiCorp Visi On was a short-lived but influential graphical user interface-based operating environment program for IBM compatible personal computers running MS-DOS. Although Visi On was never popular, as it had steep minimum system requirements for its day, it was a major influence on the later development of Microsoft Windows.

    Medical The lasting of the sense of vision

    My textbook states that if something i am looking at disappears for 0.1 second and appear again, I'll not able to perceive that it was not there for some moments. When an object build an image in my brain, the sense of vision lasts for one-tenth of a second. Doesn't it imply that if any other...

    Improve Vision: Is It Possible?

    Is it possible for one's vision to improve? I've read that myopia can be caused by excessive near work (e.g. reading). Would it be possible for a myope to improve his vision by straining his eyes looking at things in the distance for prolonged periods?

    Coincidence About Vision on Earth

    Our sun eminates electromagnetic radiation over an enormous range of frequencies. Radiation curves (energy@wavelength) resemble bell curves, and highly accurate measurements have shown that the peak of the sun's radiation curve is in the visible light range. This is not a coincidence, it is...

    Humans have true 4D spatial vision

    Humans have full 4D spatial vision Consider this: 1) objects in motion show non-simultaneities along the direction of motion (the "temporal distance" between the endpoints is \gamma vl/c^2) 2) objects in motion show time dilation (the "temporal velocity" runs slow with a factor 1/\gamma)...

    Understanding Color Vision: Mixtures & Frequencies

    I'm not sure if this is the right forum for it, but I had a few questions about how color vision works. I know that mixtures of pure colors look like other pure colors. For example, some mixture of pure (monochromatic) green and blue looks like pure yellow. So for a given color, are there an...

    Persistence of Vision Explained: How Movie Cameras Trick Our Brains

    I know it is used to refer to the property of brain/eye that it takes them one-tenth of a second to process a new image after processing one but I just can't figure out how does a movie camera takes advantage of it and fool our brain so that it thinks that its waching a smooth motion though i...

    What is the significance of my vision from two years ago?

    Hollywood Betrays the Vision of Dr. Asimov

    After reading the reviews and seeing the promos, all I can say is that the "Good Dr." must be spinning in his grave! To make a movie based on his work that revolves around a plot by robots against humans is a slap to his face and memory. Dr. Asimov created the three laws of robotics for the...

    Why do we perceive a limited number of hues in images?
