Demo night at VSS this year was bigger and better than ever. Viperlib with the help of Art Shapiro visited the various exhibits and decided to award two prizes of 100 Euros each.
It was clear that the “People’s Choice” was Martin Lages and Maryam Viziri Pashkam’s fabulous use of a strobe light and an iPhone!
We also liked Rob Ennis and Qasim Zaidi’s simple demonstration of how to measure visual aftereffects.
Well done to both winners. We hope details of their demonstrationsd will be on Viperlib very soon.
Thanks in part to the generosity of Frans Verstraten and ECVP, ViperLib will be at Demo Night at VSS to awrd prizes to the best demos that can be added to the ViperLib site. We hope to award at least two prizes of $100.
Frans Verstraten, organiser of the hugely successful 2008 European Conference on Visual Perception in Utrecht has pledged some of the surplus of that conference to support viperlib. This will help us commission new material for the site. So, if what you want isn’t here, let us know and we’ll commission the material.
The new version of viperlib, packed with new features was launched at VSS 2009. It is now much easier to upload contributions and customise the site to your requirements.
Microsoft Research have very generously donated £25,000 to support the future development of Viperlib. We are planning to revamp the site allowing users to submit material in a simpler and more direct way. This will reduce the administrative load of running Viperlib and will keep the site up to date.
Obviously we want more material for the site, more images, more Viper2go tutorials, etc. We will now be able to commission new material so it is important that we discover what our users would like to see on Viperlib that we do not currently have. Please send requests for demos, tutorials and images to us. If you have a great idea for the site and would like us to commission you to produce material, please get in touch.
We will also be looking at the possibility-and desirability-of extending the scope of Viperlib to incorporate auditory demonstrations. What are your views on this proposal? What about other senses too?
Viperlib is only as good as the people who give us the material, so please contribute to making the site even better.
