Proposals for Demo Night Now Being Accepted

 

VSS is pleased to announce that the Annual Visual Demos Evening at VSS will be held on Monday, May 18, 2026, at the TradeWinds Islands Resorts, St. Pete Beach. Demo Night is a celebration of vision science featuring demonstrations of visual phenomena, both old and new.

 

The Demo Night committee is seeking submissions of particularly dramatic, provocative, educational, and entertaining demonstrations of visual phenomena. There is no requirement that the demos be novel. Submissions that highlight classic effects are welcome. We encourage submissions of large-scale demonstrations that transcend the bounds of the tabletop, such as immersive experiences and also ones that are "physical" and do not rely on computer graphics.

 

VSS and the TradeWinds Island Resorts can provide tables, electrical outlets, some wall space and/or screens for projections, and poster boards upon request. The organizers will help coordinate special needs (e.g., theatrical lighting) on a case-by-case basis. Each presenter will be responsible for bringing and setting up any other necessary equipment for their demos, including data projectors and other displays.

 

If you have a demo that you would like to present for Demo Night, please fill out the submission form located on the  <https://w7lrdvwab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0016i3inD9m6H31UdT3furCAc8aqwiofc85L_4EDFJfnZSqbh-5k9iguTDl8KzxepcjHnoTITmRmJ-ZsKPyvTzVNm_kgrQMshzDpHf7mPxhi3tcCFf9_6WibOpcJvrcW0h06lo3ixYBALxd307xlCdQvrnZbGJ5PMXRmnna_BeDvHeY1w73P5gIrw==&c=LdPuyUnCAtTs3d8xpeaz45Blqy1c1dKjivu-qTEuF-41ceiiWJSi6A==&ch=IxzENPju6YdEUvUlua9q53M7LE5_BCzCMDJxvInrK16QTCNHOjqFqg==> VSS website no later than March 13, 2026.
