Title:
To test the efficiency of ones direct vision vs. peripheral vision

Introduction:
Studies prove that ones peripheral vision is the most effective way in terms of sight in the dark. The retina includes two forms of photoreceptor cells, the rod and cone. The cones are segments that are further sensitive to color, and the rods are better at motion detection, and are able to function well in low light environments. The rods are nearly totally responsible for our night vision. As the rods are focused throughout our retina, to use them successfully, not viewing right at what you want to see is the best way. By your peripheral vision, identifying something …show more content…

Step 2: have the person stand 4 ft. away from the table and cups, and stay in that position throughout the entire experiment whether is be sitting, kneeling or standing.
Step 3: make sure the room has no light. (near darkness)
Step 4: prepare a paper and pen, and set up a table (chart) whichever war you prefer in order to record the data of is what the person identified the colors as was correct.
Step 5: have the person directly look at each cup and identify the color, and record the accuracy of their identification down.
Step 6: Next, have the person look at another area in the room, yet still being able to see the cups using their peripheral vision. Have them identify the different colors and record this data.
Step 7: Now, ask the person, which view was easier in terms of figuring out the cups color.
Step 8: Repeat steps 1-7 on 5 different people, this first trial included.

Data/Result:

Color identification: (out of 5 trials) Red Blue Green Yellow

It has been proven, as I mentioned in my introduction previously, that our peripheral vision is the most efficient way to classify colors in near darkness. The retina encompasses two forms of photoreceptor cells, the rod as well as the cone. The cones are parts that are further delicate when it comes to color, and the rods work best when it comes to motion detection, and are capable to function well in low light environments, and in this case for this experiment, near darkness. The rods are almost totally responsible for our night vision. As the rods are focused throughout our retina, to use them successfully, not viewing right at what you want to see is the best way. By your peripheral vision, identifying something will result to the use of more rods, which will result in a better view of the

Two human receptor-making genes are similar to those in other mammals. This implies that human color vision began when one of the genes in other mammals duplicated and copies specialized over time for different light sources. The switch to color vision correlates to a switch from a monochromatic forest to one with a multitude of colors in

He was later diagnosed after tests and assessments with cerebral achromatopsia. Jonathon I. meets with Sacks and Sacks calls upon the help of other doctors to help Jonathan I. and his case. These doctors use different visual tests to determine that Jonathan I. can distinguish different wavelengths of color but cannot visual the colors. Jonathan I.’s condition remains stable for next few

I would get 200 random men and women combined to be the participants for this study. I would get about 500 polo shirts for them to choose from. I would use two studies for this experiment. The first study would be on just the color of the shirt. The second study would be on the design of the shirt.

With regard to deficiencies, two participants did not wear glasses, while the third participant had worn a pair of glasses for corrected vision; however, none complained that they could not see the stimuli in the projected screen. Apparatus The experiment attempt to test subjects’ visual perception in discriminating the given stimuli. This experiment is a single-factor design because the subjects only have one task. The subject’s task is to discriminate between the two lines.

Seeing and looking are two different things. Being able to see is to look at a person or an object and understand the purpose of its being. On the other hand, looking means to gaze at something without thinking or understanding the reason behind it. The short story “Cathedral” by Raymond Carver reveals that sometimes people have the ability to see and yet they cannot see. Those with a visual impairment are able to see and look better than those who do not.

ISpectrum Color Blind Assistant is an application that helps the visually impaired. ISpectrum Color Blind Assistant costs $2.99 in the app store. The application can detect 500 colors and then can notify the person of the color. I believe this would be very useful because I had a roommate who was colorblind and often asked me what colors things were. If someone wasn’t with him he could use this app to quickly take a picture and learn the color.

Just as people who are far-sighted see light far from the object putting the focal point in front of the retina. The retina is a light-sensitive, soft piece of tissue in the eye and is the most important part. Light passes through the first layer made up of cons and rods. The cons are how we process and and are able to see item in black and white. While the rods are how we process and are able to see color.

ESSAY 2001: A Space Odyssey, by Stanley Kubrick is the focus for the visual experiment regarding colour in the final project of (Colour and Lighting) course. The director thinks clearly that, there’s a basic problem with people who are paying attention with their eyes: Those who won’t believe their eyes won’t be able to appreciate this film (Agel, 1970). A colour analysis of the film was generated by averaging out the colours which appear in the film.

Experts in this case need to disagree in order for these facts to be understood as to why it is a given fact. I remember in my psychology class we were discussing about the process of the eye. How someone's senses can be altered into their reality as a fact which in this case is color blindness. Though we may see the main primary colors in our perception but to those who are colorblind may not even see the color red as we do. Experts in this profession might disagree to seeing red because of the lack of cones.

The eye is sensitive to light with many structures working together to interpret light and transduce it in order for it to be detected and analysed by the brain. The cornea, a transparent bulge at the front of the eye, and the lens, situated behind the iris, cause images to be focused on the retina. The ciliary muscles contract to alter the shape of the lens in order to focus images that are far away or nearby on the retina in a process called accommodation. The retina, performs the sensory functions of the eye, containing the receptor cells- rods and cones which are collectively called photoreceptors (Carlson,

Color Vision (Color Blindness Test) It’s startling to think that almost 5% of people suffer from color blindness. Color vision testing aims to determine your color recognition abilities (or lack thereof). This typically involves looking at colored numbers formed out of dots, where the numbers are set against a background with a contrasting color. Individuals suffering from color vision issues may see an incorrect number.

When produced, colored pictures were extremely sensitive to light and when exposed to it would almost instantly disappear (Welch para 38). The Lumière brothers, Auguste and Louis, found a solution to the bothersome problem when they discovered that when dyed potato starch was used, that they could create colored images in a quality that no one had ever seen before (Andrews para 9). Co-founder of the famous company Polaroid, Edwin Land did not believe the theory of the RGB (Red Green Blue) color process, which was the main belief at the time, and thought instead that the human eye could sense red and green light as it passed through the structures of the eye, which he called the “two-color process” (Welch para 40). The two-color process became the idea from which Land and the Polaroid company would build their ideas and triumphs off of (Welch para
