Change Blindness Touch Screen and Plasma Display

DSC02226

Developed For:
Robots and Us, Traveling Exhibit for Science Museum Exhibit Collaborative (SMEC)

Learning Objective: Demonstrate that we have difficulty percieving change if the image is not persistant.

LTC Staff Involved: Joshua Seaver

Key Features: A single picture with a black screen that flashes intermittently helps hide the fact that something changes in the picture after each flash. Touch Screen for user input that controls a High Defintion image on a 42" plasma display.

R & D Challenges: Write a dual-screen Director projector. Manipulate imagery so it is not too difficult or too easy to find the changes. Setup and test custom hardware configuration.
