Thank you, Yann. This is so important! And the interview makes the paper much more accessible https://t.co/ch7sOkOwwK

This applies not only all the way up to the Nobel Prize but also back into preschool and early development. Don't implant the urge of "being the best" in our children either. It is not healthy.

Is cybersickness caused by sensory mismatch? In a new BioMotionLab paper, @SiaEftekharifar shows that motion parallax and stereopsis are both contributing, and that mismatches between the two depth cues do not. @vistayorku @YUResearch @YorkUScience https://t.co/NbbNaZFRtZ

R2R produced a well crafted feature on one of our current lines of research -- a new visual telecommunication system that we developed to study the dynamics of eye and head gaze during video communication. @vistayorku @YUResearch @YorkUScience

Want to generate realistic face images and animate them with a 3D face rig? Then you want GIF: Generative Interpretable Faces, appearing today at #3DV. With @partha_ghosh0 @anuragranj @BolkartTimo Code and data: https://t.co/gVoVjnxJ2B Video: https://t.co/iEVeDEFBJT

The depth detail from the iPhone 12 Pro LiDAR camera is INSANE.

[Niko Troje @NTroje]

Yes, and here is another “illusion”: The two floor lines are NOT parallel. Both claims are true if we talk about the 2D projection, but they are false if we are talking about the depicted scene. Why would we bother talking about the former? Our visual system doesn't.

We'll certainly try this out @BioMotionLab

[HTC VIVE @htcvive]

Introducing VIVE Sync Open Beta, a VR collaboration tool that allows businesses to hold virtual meetings/presentations in real-time from the comfort of home. You can even personalize an avatar (sorry, we don't have sweatpants yet). Details: https://t.co/ZtKhFdaMue

#VIVESync

[BioMotionLab @BioMotionLab]

Using #VirtualReality in trial-based, factorial experiments in #VisionResearch can be cumbersome. In the BioMotionLab @yorkuniversity, we developed a toolbox for @unity3d that makes experimental design and execution easy and convenient. For details visit https://t.co/ddXt6B4Zcs

Lately, I have been looking up pre-COVID stats about causes of death, population sizes, age distributions in order to relate them to current numbers of "confirmed infections" and "COVID-related deaths" that drive responses. Here is John Ioannidis' take:

@MarkSabbagh1 Ok, Mark. I found you. So which are the twitter channels you suggest to a beginner who hasn't yet understood&appreciated yet the value of Twitter.

[Niko Troje @NTroje]

@DrGBuckingham I do it, but use Adobe Acrobat to password encrypt the PDF. Then I send the password to the recipient of the reference letter.

[Niko Troje @NTroje]

@VinnieAllen yeah, just an other hour or so of unfollowing. Working on it ...

[Niko Troje @NTroje]

Unfollowing ... Click by click. Who are all these random Joes, Peters, Dianes, Kamiras, ...? Why would that demon bother subscribing me?

[Niko Troje @NTroje]

I am learning. Tweets can be deleted. I was worried I had to live with that image forever. Now you don't even know what I am talking about.

[Niko Troje @NTroje]

Did you read this tweet?

[Niko Troje @NTroje]

So, here I am, tweeting just to myself. Which is fine. I did that long before there was anything like Twitter around.
