Nataša Jovičić, art historian and art educator, presents the “Multisensory Exhibition for the Blind and Visually Impaired Persons” that shows how visually impaired persons experience artwork via tactile plates and audio guides.
Curated by Ms. Jovičić and the Modern Gallery, Zagreb, Croatia, the exhibition also sensitizes others to how people living with limited vision experience the world.
The exhibition was held on the sidelines of the Assemblies of WIPO Member States, which met from September 24 to October 2, 2018. WIPO co-organized the event with the government of Croatia.

This visually stunning painting seems like a tapestry telling the story of a fortune seeker climbing the tree of Life in his quest for its elusive fruit. Deer gambol in the forest surrounding the tree while bushy tailed squirrels scurry on its branches. A wonderful gift to someone really special, this painting would also be a stunning collectible.
Visually I like the green against the light blue sky & the fact that in 2-3 weeks it's healthy snacks...
Visually pretty impressive but everything certainly died down a lot earlier than Las Vegas. Also, the lack of alcohol was annoying but not as annoying as the fact that the whole complex used fucking Simplified Chinese.
Visually, the proposed conditions for the pond will be very similar to that of the existing conditions.
Visually the 1957 model was a near-twin to 1956. Engine displacement increased to 283 cu in (4.6 L), fuel injection became optional, and a 4-speed manual transmission was available after April 9, 1957.
Written for the visually impaired, the words of touch, bound within books such as this one. It was amazing how 6 dots can create a letter.

Visually striking rainscreen cladding panels from Proteus Facades have helped to transform a building on London’s historic Hoxton Square, which is undergoing major refurbishment as part of a high-profile expansion project.
Aviva, a British multinational insurance company and pensions provider, identified Hoxton Square as the ideal location to create a campus of offices and relocate its Digital Garage; a dedicated space where technical specialists, creative designers and business leaders collaborate to develop new ideas and services. As part of the development, known as Project Drum, Aviva purchased 28-30 Hoxton Square along with other buildings in the area.
28-30 Hoxton Square required a substantial level of refurbishment, which created the opportunity to extend the property to increase capacity and improve accessibility and the layout between two front facing blocks. Architects TTSP redesigned the three-storey structure, with an entirely new floor added to the front and rear elevations as well as the demolition of a single storey centre, which was rebuilt to four storeys.
A major part of the brief given to TTSP was to ensure that historic structural elements of the building were retained and left exposed whilst all new visible external elements were over-clad to harmonise with the original features. Working closely with TTSP, Proteus Facades provided support with the design of the rainscreen cladding system to ensure this challenge was met.
Proteus HR TECU Patina Madrid panels, installed by Openwood Facades Ltd, were chosen for the double height storey which sits atop of the central part of the building, with architectural fins to the south elevations and window frames designed to match. The patterned copper finish of the Proteus material perfectly complements the colours and textures of the surrounding buildings, whilst staying in keeping with the heritage of the original site that dates to the 1700s.
Proteus HR VM Zinc Quartz rainscreen cladding was also specified for the roof level of 28- 30 Hoxton Square, which provides a long, maintenance-free life and offers adaptability to various design styles ranging from traditional to modern.
Proteus HR was specified for both the TECU Patina Madrid and VM Zinc Quartz materials at Hoxton because it is a lightweight, strong and versatile cladding panel that creates an optically flat aesthetic that is highly suited for building facades. The integrated modular rainscreen system features an aluminium honeycomb core, structurally bonded between two thin gauges of lightweight metal skin to create an optically flat panel that is available in aluminium, steel, zinc, stainless steel, copper alloys and other materials.
To mirror the design of the external façade, Proteus HR TECU Patina Madrid panels were also specified for use on a double-width lift lobby, which acts as a bright and bold mid-section connecting various internal departments, including a state-of-the-art AV centre.
In addition, Proteus Facades supplied mesh screens fixed to windows along the rear elevation in a Polyester Powder Coated (PPC) finish, which remains a popular choice with architects because of its long-term performance and cost benefits.
The Delaware Division for the Visually Impaired (DVI) partnered with the Wilmington Police Department in February to provide visual impairment sensitivity training for about 65 police officers at the Walnut Street precinct. Activities included hearing from Patti Addison and Frederick Noesner, who have visual impairments, and being blindfolding and provided with a white cane and sighted guide in order to navigate the halls, stairs, and the outside front area of the Justice of the Peace Courthouse in Wilmington. With the success of the training, conducted by DVI certified orientation & mobility therapists Heather Dougherty and Maria Lepore-Stevens, additional training dates have been scheduled for March.

visually annoy the neighbourhood - AGAIN ;-)
These specially devised blinking patterns go right down to the brain stem and deliver the essence of annoyance.
Made with this
Intent: to create a visually interesting landscape photograph that has a relatively empty foreground.
I love photos of reflections in water, and I’m really happy I was able to capture these tall, skinny trees reflected in this pond. I used the large distance between me and my subject to help highlight the vastness of the scene.
Edits:
- decreased highlights, white point and black point
- increased contrast and shadows
- increased vibrance
- cropped to better frame my subject and follow the rule of thirds
Jumping visually back to London.......... The Sunday Times magazine is running a big piece written by [Matt Rudd](http://www.amheath.com/pages/authors/view.asp?id=400)....... funny but revealing article about the cyclists of London and the UK........... That also features a few big old pics by me......... Anyway if you are here cos you are a cyclist who has bumped into me in the last week or so zapping around doing bike things like the 'Critical Mass' ride or watching you commute in and out of the City....... Sunday is the big day pop out and get the Magazine with the Sunday Times Newspaper ......... thats the best way..... otherwise if you are not in the UK and reading this....... you can check whats happening a online at the [Sunday Times](http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/driving/features/article6940837.ece)....... anyway I'll run a few pics here that didn't get space in the magazine...... :-))

After arriving at the hotel, we found our way to the conference / convention field, wondering how Juan figures out where we should go.
We are California Teachers Educaters for Visually Handicapped conference, that is designed for educators who have visually impaired students, but we check out what they have at the site... on our own... without any sighted guides!
On October 15, blind and visually impaired students took to the streets to raise awareness of pedestrian safety.
This visually striking residential building was created by architect Moshe Safdie for Expo 67. The result was an amazingly modern dwelling that challenged the way architects created urban homes. Compared alternately to a beehive, a Taos pueblo, and a crystalline growth, the complex's 154 units are composed of prefabricated concrete cubes assembled on site. The apartments here are highly prized and a number of prominent Montrealers make Habitat 67 their home.

Visually impaird guests are invited to touch and feel the pelts and skins of various animals. Even the guide dogs got a chance to check out the animals. They had to stay close to their people - cause we know that dogs are not allowed on National Widlife Refuges. Photo Credit: Jane Chorazy USFWS

Angkor Wat is visually, architecturally and artistically breathtaking. It is a massive three-tiered pyramid crowned by five lotus-like towers rising 65 meters from ground level. Angkor Wat is the centerpiece of any visit to the temples of Angkor.
At the apex of Khmer political and military dominance in the region, Suryavarman II constructed Angkor Wat in the form of a massive 'temple-mountain' dedicated to the Hindu god, Vishnu. It served as his state temple, though the temple’s uncommon westward orientation has led some to suggest that it was constructed as Suryavarman II’s funerary temple. Other temples of the same style and period include Thommanon, Banteay Samre, Wat Atwea and Beng Melea, which may have served as a prototype to Angkor Wat.
Angkor Wat is surrounded by a moat and an exterior wall measuring 1300 meters x 1500 meters. The temple itself is 1 km square and consists of three levels surmounted by a central tower. The walls of the temple are covered inside and out with bas-reliefs and carvings. Nearly 2000 distinctively rendered apsara carvings adorn the walls throughout the temple and represent some of the finest examples of apsara carvings in Angkorian era art. But it is the exterior walls of the lower level that display the most extraordinary bas-reliefs, depicting stories and characters from Hindu mythology and the historical wars of Suryavarman II. It is in the viewing of the bas-reliefs that a tour guide can be very helpful.
The northern reflecting pool in front is the most popular sunrise location. For sunrise, arrive very early, well before sunrise begins. The sun will rise behind Angkor Wat providing a silhouette of Angkor’s distinctively shaped towers against a colored sunrise sky. Some of the best colors appear just before the sun breaks over the horizon.
The visual impact of Angkor Wat, particularly on one's first visit, is awesome. As you pass through the outer gate and get your first glimpse, its size and architecture make it appear two dimensional, like a giant postcard photo against the sky. After you cross through the gate and approach the temple along the walkway it slowly gains depth and complexity. To maximize this effect you should make your first visit in optimal lighting conditions, i.e. after 2:00PM. Do not make your first visit to Angkor Wat in the morning when the backlighting obscures the view.
The first level of is the most artistically interesting. Most visitors begin their exploration with the bas-reliefs that cover the exterior wall of the first level, following the bas-reliefs counterclockwise around the temple. Bas-relief highlights include the mythological Battle of Kuru on the west wall; the historical march of the army of Suryavarman II, builder of Angkor Wat, against the Cham, followed by scenes from Heaven and Hell on the south wall; and the classic ‘Churning of the Ocean Milk’ on the east wall.
The temple interior is not as densely carved as the first level exterior, but still sports hundreds of fine carvings of apsaras and scenes from Hindu mythology. A guide can be quite helpful in explaining the stories of the various chambers, statues and architectural forms to be found in the interior. At the upper-most of your tour of the temple, the central tower on the third level houses four Buddha images, each facing a different cardinal point, highlighting the fact that though Angkor Wat was constructed as a Hindu temple, it has served as a Buddhist temple since Buddhism became Cambodia’s dominant religion in the 14th century. Some say that it is good luck to pay homage to all four Buddha images before departing Angkor.

Visually, there are no indicators of something wrong in the water. Families are having picnics, children are playing, and many have fishing poles in the water.
It's either dangerous currents, or something sharp on the grounds under the water.

I have been legally blind since age ten due to Stargardt’s disease, a juvenile form of Macular Degeneration. I primarily rely on my peripheral vision. In photography I disregard aesthetic conventions of detail and clarity because they aren’t visible or important to me. As a young, visually impaired girl, I wasn’t exactly encouraged to use tools, machinery, or anything with moving parts. Now, experimenting with simple machines like the potter’s wheel and a SLR camera are vital parts of my creative process. Some of my successes are the result of calculated study while others are serendipitously accidental.
The National Disabled Veterans TEE Tournament is the brainchild of several employees of the Iowa City VA Medical Center, along with two visually impaired Iowa Veterans. These visionaries created the TEE Tournament, an acronym standing for TRAINING, EXPOSURE and EXPERIENCE. In 2008, it became one of six VA national rehabilitation programs for Veterans. The event expanded to include not only blind Veterans, but amputees, wheelchairbound Veterans, and those with other life changing disabilities. It takes place each year in Iowa City.
