This one is a heck of a peripheral vision tester!

I had no idea that peripheral vision could cause such grotesque facial feature distortions. Each cycle around the loop they look even more distorted as you look at the cross.

Sometimes a random off-topic thread can lead to some interesting discoveries...

That is pretty freaky. I had to watch it again just looking at the faces to make sure they weren't distorted. Stuff of nightmares.

Now, the last one was cool (among others, some of them in any case, if not all...)!

is the tech advanced enough to for example create a Ai that watches over the oculus sdk and protects it?

Yes, but the real world is actually a single player game someone is playing and we all are actually AI.

Some scientists may agree with you:

@geekmaster Thanks for those links, this is going to be a interesting read.

More cool stuff to come from the guys who did that "simulation of simulations" comic above:

You did not say to delete/ignore this THREAD (only the first post).

With no effective first post, this thread rambled off in its own interesting direction...

EDIT: It was probably your thread title's request for ignorance that drew us all here, like a "gawker slowdown" on the highway...

That face gif is freaky. I wonder how that works.

I wonder if you swapped those images to really ugly people, the would look peripherally attractive

That is so typical. Well, at least here it happened to someone who actually deserves some fame for other stuff. Tmek, you are no longer the Doom 3 guy or the instructional charts guy or the guy who hosted a bunch of servers for us, you're now the guy who made that one hasty post and tried to Streisand it away. It shall be your legacy.

Eye tracking?

Now, it makes you wonder just how much you can trust your peripheral vision, doesn't it?

Post by **Mystify** » Thu May 23, 2013 10:56 am

my understanding was that its not just it being in the peripheral vision, but the two different faces being present skews your perception
