OSA Funds Optics Programs
WASHINGTON, Dec. 17, 2007 -- The OSA Foundation is funding an exhibition on optical illusions and three new optics-related science education programs. "Perceptual Relativity," a permanent interactive exhibit exploring individual perception through optical illusions, opened last week at the University of Nevada, Reno's (UNR) Fleischmann Planetarium and Science Center. Two dozen interactive displays illustrate principles of light, vision and visual perception through optical and perceptual illusions. The illusions are...
