Many of our everyday interactions, such as driving a car, greeting familiar faces on the street, or deciding which dish to order at a restaurant, are guided by our visual sense.\u00a0For the most part, this works well. But sometimes we are reminded of our visual system\u2019s limitations and surprising behavior through optical illusions that exploit misjudgments in size, distance, depth, color and brightness, among many others.\u00a0This lecture presents and explains a diverse collection of visual perception phenomena that challenge our common knowledge of how well we detect, recognize, compare, measure, interpret, and make decisions upon the information that arrives at our brain through our eyes. It also explains the relationships between the latest developments in human vision research and emerging technologies, such as: self-driving cars, face recognition and other forms of biometrics, and virtual reality.\u00a0After seeing a large number of examples of optical illusions and other visual phenomena, this talk will make you wonder: can you really trust what you see?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Video<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n.bitdash-vc img {\n width: 100% !important;\n height: 100% !important;\n max-width: 100% !important;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"player\"><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\nvar conf = {\n        key:       \"574333d1-39ca-49c0-afcf-3e8f5c315c07\",\n        source: {\n          dash:        '\/\/www.itec.aau.at\/ftp\/itec\/videos\/ftf_oge_marques_may2016\/293709_e4cb812f69119e6565bc413bf3caca47\/293709.mpd',\n          hls:         '\/\/www.itec.aau.at\/ftp\/itec\/videos\/ftf_oge_marques_may2016\/293709_e4cb812f69119e6565bc413bf3caca47\/293709.m3u8',\n          progressive: '\/\/www.itec.aau.at\/ftp\/itec\/videos\/ftf_oge_marques_may2016\/ftf_marques2016.mp4',\n          poster:      '\/\/www.itec.aau.at\/ftp\/itec\/videos\/ftf_oge_marques_may2016\/293709_e4cb812f69119e6565bc413bf3caca47\/ftf_marques2016_57695c5c3f2d8_thumb.png'\n        }\n    };\n    var player = bitdash('player');\n    player.setup(conf).then(function(value) {\n        \/\/ Success\n        console.log('Successfully created bitdash player instance');\n    }, function(reason) {\n        \/\/ Error!\n        console.log('Error while creating bitdash player instance');\n    });\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Slides<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 1px solid #CCC; border-width: 1px; margin-bottom: 5px; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/slideshow\/embed_code\/key\/oVQSnfZHGq4lY6\" width=\"595\" height=\"485\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"> <\/iframe><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\"><strong> <a title=\"Can you trust what you see?
