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-medicin… York University News BioMotionLab YorkU - Science VISTA @ YorkU

Thanks to Research2Reality for giving me the opportunity to think about my motivations and inspirations.

VISTA core member Niko Troje presenting his innovative work on the “Alberti Frame” in his talk, Mug shots: Systematic biases in the perception of facial orientation. Come check out his demo on VSS Meeting Demo Night and say hi to me on the other end of the frame! 👋 🖼 BioMotionLab

Ashley was also a graduate students in the BioMotionLab. It is sad, that she leaves physically, but she will remain a much appreciated member of the lab until she defends her thesis later this year. We'll miss you, Ashley.

This post features the work of BioMotionLab graduate student Saeed Ghorbani Saeed Ghorbani who did an internship with Ubisoft as a grad student and was then promoted to become an R&D Scientist with Ubisoft Toronto. Congratulations, Saeed!

Congratulations, Saeed. I am glad your work gains so much visibility. VISTA @ YorkU

New review on an ongoing topic: Life Detection from Biological Motion. We haven’t contributed a lot lately, but many other labs have. Here, Niko Troje and Dorita Chang provide an update on what's new and exciting. @vistayork York U Research & Innovation Centre for Vision Research doi.org/10.1177/096372…

Zoom disrupts eye contact behaviour! We know that. But what exactly is the problem and how can it be fixed properly? Here is my own approach, framed as a TICS Science & Society mini paper. VISTA @ YorkU York U Research & Innovation Centre for Vision Research authors.elsevier.com/a/1gqiY4sIRvPM…

I (Niko Troje ) am currently spending a sabbatical year with the Konstanz Collective Behaviour group. It's an amazing experience. Here is Tom Scott's take on a current experiment. youtu.be/KRIBVykhpC4

Binocular disparity for distance, motion parallax for direction and place! The geometry of BD and MP is almost identical, but their functional significance is vastly different. A new paper from BioMotionLab VISTA @ YorkU postdoc Michael Wang just appeared. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Amazing. Thanks to Doug Crawford and the team that put the successful proposal together.

Zoom conveys visual signals about gaze behavior, but they are spurious. In a new paper, I discuss the problem as a general lack of directionality, and show that using display technology that simulates motion parallax is necessary and sufficient to fix it. jov.arvojournals.org/issues.aspx?is…
