Even though this might not be 100% appropriate, I found it quite convenient to place this article here. It is about visual perception.
I came across this article while reading the blog of James Gurney, creator of many creatures from Star Wars II and III, and author of the book 'Imaginative Realism - How to paint what doesn't exist?'
The article about visual perception stated an experiment in which visitors at a counter were first subjected to person A, and when this person had to bend down to get a paper, person B would emerge and take his place. None of the visitors ever noticed the change.
This reminded me vividly of the video we saw at the lecture: the 'Visual Awareness' video.
Did you notice them? I definately didn't.
Another post from Gurney Journey's blog: Face Detection.

In here, he uses a camera with automatic subject detection. So, when he focuses upon a face, the camera can recognize the face and switch to 'portrait' mode. However, the camera comes up with some interesting results, as the most icon face is seen as 'portrait' and a very detailed old man is not.
