Links to other Web sites with specific information covered in this section of the course:
RGB Insufficiency - Two Materials - Metamers - To run these, you may need to download the Java plugin once you get to the demonstration webpage (click on "Run with Java plugin" in the "Execution" menu on the left side of the page.) In class, I use the RGB Insufficiency web site to demonstrate how the apparent color of an object depends not only on its reflectance, but also on the wavelength composition of the light hitting the object. Click here for instructions if you have trouble getting the demonstrations to work. These demonstrations are from the Department of Computer Science at Brown University.
Molecular Expressions: Light and Color - This web site contains descriptions of the physics of light and optics (how
lenses work), by Olympus America Inc. and The Florida State University.
Loss of Central Vision - A demonstration of how macular degeneration affects central vision, from Retina International.
Loss of Peripheral Vision - A demonstration of how retinitis pigmentosa affects peripheral vision, from Retina International.
Integrative Neuroscience - Some nice pictures illustrating various aspects of retinal processing, by Dr. Tres Thompson at the University of Texas at Dallas.
