Binovisualfields Package: Development and Publication to CRAN

Hi Everyone! We hope you are all safe and well!!

We have been working to move our coming events online, we hope you will all be able to join us. This month we are excited to welcome Virginia Liu who will be telling us about the development of the Binovisualfields package. This package is for simulation and visualisation of depth-dependent binocular visual fields.

Visual fields are measured monocularly at a single depth in clinical practice, yet real-life activities involve predominantly binocular vision at multiple depths. A simulation and visualisation tool that computes binocular visual fields from monocular ones is useful for researchers and clinicians in the field for many purposes. However, no such tool was available. The talk will provide an overview of the development of the R package and its CRAN submission process.

Virginia is a Postdoc researcher at the Optometry and Vision Sciences Department of the University of Melbourne, a self-taught programmer and UX designer. She has a BMedSci and PhD in psychology.

This event will be held online via zoom. Please connect just before 6pm, the seminar will start promptly at 6. When you connect please turn off your microphone.

We look forward to seeing you all there!
