LITE
Project LITE: Atlas of Visual Phenomena – The primary goal of Project LITE is to develop software and hardware tools to help undergraduates understand the nature of light in a variety of university educational settings. LITE: Vision focuses on psychophysical aspects of light, namely, how the brain interprets the physical stimuli it gathers. Concepts of perception are probed through visual effects and illusions. The goal of LITE: Vision is to create interactive web applets that allow the user to vary parameters involved in the phenomena, thereby allowing the user to discover the underlying concepts on their own. Research involved in this project includes deciding which visual phenomena are both adaptable to an interactive computer environment and which illustrate the most important concepts of psychophysics. A key issue is to determine which elements should be made interactive to help the potential user discover the major underlying phenomena independent of an instructor. With Ken Brecher.
