What we see is influenced by visual features
- ur brain perceive (boYom-up) and by what
we know beforehand (top-down)

Visual Thinking for Design
Vision
Human vision does not work like a camera The eye makes a series of fixa8ons and saccades fixa8on: maintaining gaze over a single loca5on (200-600ms) saccade: movement between loca5ons 20-100ms

conjunctions do not pop out;
use a single popout channel at a time to draw attention
Popout / pre-attentive processing
- Requires aYen5on, despite the name
- Very fast at grabbing aYen5on (less than 200 milli
seconds)
- Parallel processing, independent of the number of
distractors (compared to serial search)
- Popout elements have to be salient compared to
surrounding
- Elements that are a conjunc8on of mul5ple channels
- fen do not pop out

How does pre-a;en8ve processing work?
We don’t know for sure, but there are some theories:

Take home point
We can easily see objects that are different in color and shape, or that are in mo5on
Based on slides by Miriah Meyer & Alex Lex
Visual features must be carefully designed. Conjunc5ons must be avoided, if popout is desired
