Holograms and Asperger

Post Reply New Topic

What's the connection of holograms - seeing them - understanding them - and neurological challenges like Asperger - Autism - ADHD?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holography

That wiki page doesn't say anything about Asperger - Autism - ADHD and holograms

Anosognosia

Anosognosia is a condition in which a person who suffers disability due to brain
injury seems unaware of or denies the existence of their handicap. This may
include unawareness of quite dramatic impairments, such as blindness or
paralysis. It was first named by neurologist Joseph Babinski in 1914, although
relatively little has been discovered about the cause of the condition since its
initial identification. The word comes from the Greek...

I can't see in 3D. I hear this is common among people with autism but it isn't necessarily a trait, just a neurological difference.

I've always loved holograms. I think that it would be neat to find some hologram posters.

Like those Magic Eye posters? I can't see them no matter how hard I try. I've never really been able to perceive depth (which made most sports difficult...well, the 3D thing in combination with the overall clumsiness which may be an Executive Functioning problem).

I like Holograms. I have 2 CDs that have a hologram Label us Windows 98 and Windows 2000

to see 3D you mind has to be wired to see in Stereo.

Interesting

Yep, those and also with 3D glasses, anything like that.

I had a lazy eye as a child that was fixed with surgery but the neurological wiring will of course always remain, I just don't have that kind of depth perception.

Your brain probably did not acquire the usual processing of retinal disparity at the appropriate time. The information from a lazy eye would not have been coherent or useful so the brain disregarded it. Not to worry. Most depth cues only require one eye.

I'm self-diagnosed aspergic and I can seen magic eye pictures even though most NT people aren't able to

I remember reading that autistic visual abilities are more extreme, like many other functions, in other words that many people with autism have no trouble with 3D illusions and many do not perceive them. The ability range is wider than people without autism, with more autistic people at the two extremes.

I can see most 3D illusions fairly easily, but I hated the only 3D film I have watched, because the 3D effects were tiring, overdone and added nothing positive to the experience (it was the latest Shrek).

I make 3D stereograms with my camera, by taking two photos a few inches apart and aligning the images onto a single print. I use an old-fashioned Victorian stereogram viewer and love the sense of presence viewing a place I have been in 3D. There are some nice stereograms (especially "Spheres in motion") here http://www.gizmology.net/stereography.htm and you may be able to perceive them without a viewer.
