Visual system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The visual cortex is the most massive system in the human brain and is responsible for higher-level processing of the visual image. The neurons of the LGN then relay the visual image to the primary visual cortex (V1) which is located at the back of the brain (caudal end) in the occipital lobe. The visual system is the part of the nervous system which allows organisms to see. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Visual_system   (1498 words)

Visual sociology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Visual sociology is an area of sociology concerned with the visual dimensions of social life. Visual sociology considers the logics of presentation of sociological and anthropological documentarians and ethnographers like Robert Flaherty, Konrad Lorenz, Margaret Mead and Gregory Bateson, and Frederick Wiseman. A third dimension of visual sociology is both the use of visual media to communicate sociological understandings to professional and public audiences, and also the use of visual media within sociological research itself. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Visual_sociology   (958 words)

Binary star - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Visual binary stars, unless they are relatively close to Earth, have a large true separation, and consequently their orbital speeds are usually too small to be measured spectroscopically. In the case of a visual binary star, after the orbit has been determined and the stellar parallax of the system obtained, the combined mass of the two stars may be obtained by a direct application of the Keplerian harmonic law. Binaries that are both visual and spectroscopic are thus usually relatively close to us. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Binary_star   (1186 words)

Visual cortex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Visual area V4 is one of the visual areas in the extrastriate visual cortex of the macaque monkey. Visual area V4 is not tuned for complex objects such as faces, as areas in the inferotemporal cortex are. The functionally defined primary visual cortex is approximately equivalent to the anatomically defined striate cortex. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Visual_cortex   (1991 words)

Visual IRC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Visual IRC '96 (and later Visual IRC '97, Visual IRC '98) - Released in 1996, written by MeGALiTH. Visual IRC (ViRC) is an open source Internet Relay Chat client for the Windows operating system. Visual IRC (16-bit) - Released in 1995 for Windows 3.x, written by MeGALiTH. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Visual_IRC   (360 words)

Visual Basic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Visual Basic 2.0 was released in November 1992. Visual Basic 3.0 was released in the summer of 1993 and came in Standard and Professional versions. Visual Basic provides a specific syntax for access to attributes called Property methods, and this is often implemented using getters and setters in C++ or Java. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Visual_Basic   (3637 words)

Visual effects - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Visual effects usually involve the integration of live-action footage with computer generated imagery or other elements (such as pyrotechnics or model work) in order to create environments or scenarios which look realistic, but would be dangerous, costly, or simply impossible to capture on film. Visual effects (vfx) is the term given to a sub-category of special effects in which images or film frames are created or manipulated for film and video. Visual effects are frequently integral to a movie's story and appeal. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Visual_effects   (232 words)

Visual arts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The visual arts are a class of artforms, including painting, sculpture, photography, and others, that focus on the creation of artworks which are primarily visual in nature. The visual arts are distinguished from the performing arts, language arts, culinary arts, and other such classes of artwork. British art schools made a clear distinction between the fine arts (a term that hints at their supposed superiority) and the crafts in such a way that a craftsperson could not be considered a practitioner of high art. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Visual_art   (445 words)

Visual Pinball - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Visual Pinball is roughly based on the Microsoft Visual Basic programming language for relative ease of programming, but the program itself is written in C++ with ATL (which helps in making ActiveX controls). Visual Pinball is a program that allows programmers to create and play 3-D renditions of pinball machines on a home computer. Visual Pinball can be seen as an important step in the evolution of pinball-based entertainment, especially as the availability of publicly playable machines has shrunk and currently only one manufacturer of real pinball machines (Stern Pinball, Inc.) exists today. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Visual_Pinball   (244 words)

Visual perception - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Visual perception is one of the senses, consisting of the ability to detect light and interpret (see) it as the perception known as eyesight, sight or naked eye vision. The eye's retina performs the first stages of visual perception processing, with the remaining stages of visual perception occurring in the optic nerve, the lateral geniculate nucleus, and the visual cortex of the brain. Models based on this idea have been used to describe various visual subsystems, such as the perception of motion or the perception of depth. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Visual_perception   (1205 words)

Visual acuity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Visual acuity is often measured according to the size of letters viewed on a Snellen chart or the size of other symbols, such as Landolt Cs or Tumbling E. Visual acuity is typically measured monocularly rather than binocularly with the aid of an optotype chart for distant vision, an optotype chart for near vision, and an occluder to cover the eye not being tested. Visual cortex is part of the cerebral cortex in the posterior (occipital) part of the brain responsible for processing visual stimuli. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Visual_acuity   (2466 words)

Visual cryptography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Moni Naor and Adi Shamir, Visual Cryptography, EUROCRYPT 1994, pp1–12 [1]. Visual cryptography is a cryptographic technique which allows visual information (pictures, text, etc.) to be encrypted in such a way that the decryption can be performed by humans (without computers). The first visual cryptographic technique was pioneered by Moni Naor and Adi Shamir in 1994. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Visual_cryptography   (149 words)

Visual novel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Traditionally PC-based visual novels have contained ecchi scenes, which English-speaking fans tend to regard as a sort of unpleasant and unnecessary cliche (similar to the "obligatory sex scene" in Hollywood action films). In general, visual novels are more likely to be narrated in the first person than the third, and to present events from the point of view of only one character. In Japanese, a distinction is often made between visual novels proper (abbreviated NVL) and adventure games (abbreviated AVG or ADV): the main difference is in the presentation of the text, which is overlaid on the picture in a visual novel, and confined to a window at the bottom of the screen in an "adventure". en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Visual_novel   (882 words)

Visual binary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The brighter star of a visual binary is considered the "primary" star, and the dimmer is considered the "secondary." The position angle of the secondary with respect to the primary is measured, together with the angular distance between the two stars. A visual binary star is a binary star for which the angular separation between the two components is great enough to permit them to be observed as a double star in a telescope. The resolving power of the telescope is an important factor in the detection of visual binaries, and as telescopes become larger and more powerful an increasing number of visual binaries will be detected. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Visual_binary   (276 words)

Visual perception - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Visual perception is one of the senses, consisting of the ability to detect light and interpret (see) it as the perception known as sight or naked eye vision. The eye's retina performs the first stages of visual perception processing, with the remaining stages of visual perception occurring in the optic nerve, the lateral geniculate nucleus, and the visual cortex of the brain. Most of the general processes of visual perception have been shown to be universal, as opposed to being dependant on culture, although there are specific instances where cultural variability appears to come into play. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Visual_perception   (976 words)

Visual culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Visual culture is a field of study within cultural studies focusing on aspects of culture that rely on visual images. Visual culture is related to visual sociology and visual studies. Among cultural studies theorists working with contemporary culture, this often overlaps with film studies and the study of television, although it can also include video game studies, comics, traditional artistic media, advertising, and any other medium that has a crucial visual component. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Visual_culture   (431 words)

LaserMyEye :: Encyclopedia :: Visual acuity Visual acuity does not seek to measure all aspects of vision, but it does measure a very important feature, because in healthy eyes which have not undergone surgery, the normal cause of poor testing in a standard acuity test is refractive error (myopia, hyperopia and/or astigmatism), which can be corrected with glasses or contact lenses. Visual acuity can also separately be assesed for near vision (most relevant to presbyopes, people usually in their 40's or later who lose the ability to focus up close) using a small chart held nearer the patient. Visual acuity is assessed utilising a Snellen eyechart and the "better 1, better 2" subjective testing method called a refraction; acuity is normally measured in each eye individually and in both eyes together. www.lasermyeye.org /encyclopedia/acuity.html   (244 words)

IRC script - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia There are different scripts and scripting languages for different types of IRC clients: ircII, BitchX, mIRC, Visual IRC, Bersirc, and others have their own scripting languages, many of which share common features and syntax. IRC scripts are a way of shortening commands and responding automatically to certain events while connected to IRC. Events or remotes allow a script to respond automatically when a particular type of message is received from the IRC server, or when a certain action is performed by the user, such as pressing a key or closing a window. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/IRC_script   (405 words)

Optical spectrum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The optical spectrum (light or visible spectrum) is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye. The first exoplanets to be discovered were found by analysing the doppler shift of stars at such high resolution that variations in their radial velocity as small as a few metres per second could be detected: the presence of planets was revealed by their gravitational influence on the motion of the stars analysed. Helium was first detected through an analysis of the spectrum of the Sun; chemical elements can be detected in astronomical objects by emission lines and absorption lines; and the shifting of spectral lines can be used to measure the redshift or blueshift of distant or fast-moving objects. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Visual_spectrum   (646 words)

Visual culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Visual culture is a field of study within cultural studies focusing on aspects of culture that rely on visual images. Visual culture is related to visual sociology and visual studies. Scholarship in Visual Studies tends to be more thematically, rather than artist-, style-, or filmmaker-based, partly due to its engagement with questions concerning biography and the author function (Barthes, Foucault), but also due to its comparable openness toward broader questions concerning theory and technology. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Visual_culture   (427 words)

Visual snow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Visual snow is a little-known condition in which people see snow or television-static in their field of vision. This, and the fact that no physical anomalies are ever found with people complaining of VS, might imply that instead of an illness, visual snow is an entoptic phenomenon that is noticed mainly by those who are very conscious of their vision. There currently is no established treatment for visual snow, although some people claim to have benefited from the anti-seizure medicine Clonazepam or from the corticosteroid Prednisone. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Visual_Snow   (427 words)

The Visual Capabilities of Birds Brightness is the psychological response to the intensity of a visual stimulus. Among the factors that affect visual acuity are the luminance and wavelength of the target illuminant and the adaptation level of the subject. Visual acuity in the tawny owl (Strix aluco). www.users.mis.net /~pthrush/lighting/vcb.html   (5218 words)

Apparent magnitude - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The rate at which apparent brightness changes, as the distance from an object increases, is calculated by the inverse-square law (at cosmological distance scales, this is no longer quite true because of the curvature of space). The second thing to notice is that the scale is logarithmic: the relative brightness of two objects is determined by the difference of their magnitudes. This somewhat crude method of indicating the brightness of stars was popularized by Ptolemy in his Almagest, and is generally believed to have originated with Hipparchus. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Apparent_magnitude   (1115 words)

Dataflex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Visual Dataflex is a GUI development language in a style comparable with Visual Basic, Delphi and C++. Visual DataFlex - This is the flagship development environment from Data Access Corporation. DataFlex - The latest iteration of the original console mode application is available as a Console Mode application for MS-DOS, Microsoft Windows and Unix variants (notably Linux). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Dataflex   (338 words)

Visual C++ - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Visual C++ 1.0, which includes MFC 2.0, was the first version of Visual C++, released in 1993, available in both 16-bit and 32-bit versions, although it is also the next version of Microsoft C/C++ 7.0. Visual C++ 6.0, which includes MFC 6.0 (released in 1998), was (and still is) widely used for large and small projects. Visual C++ 2.0, which includes MFC 3.0, was the first version to be 32-bit only, although Visual C++ 1.51 (an update to Visual C++ 1.5) was released at the same time as Visual C++ 2.0. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Visual_C_Plus_Plus   (732 words)

Several Audio Visuals scripts have been remade professionally, either by BBV (with the Doctor Who elements removed, as part of the video series (Click link for more info and facts about The Stranger) The Stranger) or Big Finish (as licensed Doctor Who audios). Elements from various Audio Visuals plays appear in Gary Russell's contributions to the licensed Doctor Who novel ranges published by (A person who has never had sex) Virgin and the BBC, most notably in Deadfall. www.absoluteastronomy.com /encyclopedia/a/au/audio_visuals.htm   (197 words)

Visual anthropology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Visual anthropology is a subfield of sociocultural anthropology that developed out of the theory and practice of ethnographic photography, film and since the mid-1990s, new media. The origins of visual anthropology are located in the invention and application of photographic technologies to the study of human culture and diversity (Ruby 1996). Visual anthropology first found purchase in an academic setting in 1958 with the creation of the Film Study Center at Harvard's Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnography (Ruby 2001). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Visual_anthropology   (688 words)

Visual routine Visual routines differ from the fixed operations of the base representations in that they are not applied uniformly over the entire visual field --- rather, they are only applied to objects or areas specified by the routines. The visual routines proposed by Ullman are high-level primitives which parse the structure of a scene, extracting spatial information from the base representations. When combined into visual routines, these elementary operators can be used to perform relatively sophisticated spatial tasks such as counting the number of objects satisfying a certain property, or recognizing a complex shape. www.freeglossary.com /Visual_routines   (688 words)
