Abstract

We live in a visual world and build environments that rely heavily on visual perception. Want to find somewhere? You look on a map or read a road sign. Perhaps the GPS on your touch screen smartphone can help you. It probably couldn’t help you find your mislaid house keys or help you choose between a red and green apple but we don’t need it to, we have our eyes to do that.
