ICYMI Renaissance architect and mathematician Leon Battista Alberti believed paintings should recreate exactly the view seen through an empty frame. What does this concept have to do with virtual reality? research2reality.com/health-… @YorkUnews @BioMotionLab @YorkUScience @vistayorku

Framing a More Immersive World on the Horizon

The expanding use of virtual reality is giving researchers more opportunities to understand just how we perceive the real world through vision.

{New video} What would happen if you could actually upload expertise from a person directly into a machine? research2reality.com/health-… @YorkUnews @NTroje @YorkMRIfacility @yorkuniversity @vistayorku @Sergio_lab_York @BioMotionLab @YUResearch

Seeing Isn’t Just Believing, It’s Understanding

Vision science explores questions you may not suspect, like how sex affects sight and whether robots could disinfect dangerous areas for us.

Here's my column on parks as the fulcrum points in the "constant, experimental push-pull between social norms and legal restrictions, trust and compulsion, freedom and constraint" -- and the pandemic-fighting importance of keeping them open. theglobeandmail.com/opinion/…
