  2. Persistence of vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persistence_of_vision

    Persistence of vision is the optical illusion that occurs when the visual perception of an object does not cease for some time after the rays of light proceeding from it have ceased to enter the eye. [1] The illusion has also been described as "retinal persistence", [2] "persistence of impressions", [3] simply "persistence" and other variations ...

  3. Thaumatrope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thaumatrope

    The toy has traditionally been thought to demonstrate the principle of persistence of vision, a disputed explanation for the cause of illusory motion in stroboscopic animation and film. Examples of common thaumatrope pictures include a bare tree on one side of the disk, and its leaves on the other, or a bird on one side and a cage on the other.

  4. Flicker fusion threshold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flicker_fusion_threshold

    It is a concept studied in vision science, more specifically in the psychophysics of visual perception. A traditional term for "flicker fusion" is "persistence of vision", but this has also been used to describe positive afterimages or motion blur. Although flicker can be detected for many waveforms representing time-variant fluctuations of ...

  5. Newton disc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton_disc

    The concept that human visual perception cannot distinguish details of high-speed movements is popularly known as persistence of vision. The disk is named after Isaac Newton . Although he published a circular diagram with segments for the primary colors that he had discovered (i.e. a color wheel ), it is unlikely that he ever used a spinning ...

  6. Iconic memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iconic_memory

    By 5 years of age, children have developed the same unlimited capacity of iconic memory that adults possess. [citation needed] The duration of informational persistence however increases from approximately 200 ms at age 5, to an asymptotic level of 1000 ms as an adult (>11 years). A small decrease in visual persistence occurs with age.

  7. Object permanence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_permanence

    It has been shown that artificial intelligent agents can be trained to exhibit object permanence. [28] [29] Building such agents revealed an interesting structure.The object permanence task involves several visual and reasoning components, where the most important ones are to detect a visible object, to learn how it moves and to reason about its movement even when it is not visible.

  8. Entoptic phenomenon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entoptic_phenomenon

    The first two sort of floaters may collect over the fovea (the center of vision), and therefore be more visible, when a person is lying on his or her back looking upwards. Blue field entoptic phenomenon has the appearance of tiny bright dots moving rapidly along squiggly lines in the visual field.

  9. The Thief and the Cobbler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thief_and_the_Cobbler

    Persistence of Vision is a documentary by Kevin Schreck, about Richard Williams and the production of The Thief and the Cobbler, which the film calls "the greatest animated film never made". Because Williams did not participate in the documentary, it is instead a documentary from the perspective of animators and artists who had worked with ...
