VPixx Technologies (Gold Sponsor)

Booth 4, 5 & 6

VPixx Technologies welcomes the vision science community to VSS 2022.  This year VPixx celebrates our 21th anniversary, and we are marking this special occasion with the launch of two new tools for your research: the LabMaestro Pack&Go Remote Testing Tool and the LabMaestro Hardware Simulator.

Over the past two years, the need for remote data collection platforms has become clear. The VPixx team has created LabMaestro Pack&Go, a tool for remote data collection for MATLAB/Psychtoolbox-based experiment protocols, and other test platforms.  With Pack&Go researchers can deploy MATLAB/Psychtoolbox experiments to remote participants on a local or global scale, while monitoring communication performance to ensure data quality. This tool allows researchers to test participants using the subject’s own personal computer, with no MATLAB/Psychtoolbox installation required. Visit our booth if you would like to learn more, or to participate in a Psychtoolbox Pack&Go experiment!

VPixx Technologies is known for our innovative hardware for vision research.  The PROPixx DLP LED video projector, supporting refresh rates up to 1440Hz, has become a standard for neuroimaging, neurophysiology, and behavioral vision research applications.  The TRACKPixx3 2kHz binocular eye tracker and the DATAPixx3 I/O hub offer microsecond-precise data acquisition synchronized to stimulus presentation.  This year we launch the LabMaestro Hardware Simulator, a software tool that simulates VPixx hardware, allowing researchers to develop and test experiment protocols while the physical instruments are in use or unavailable. Visit our booth if you would like to learn more!

Sponsorship Opportunities

The Vision Sciences Society is committed to progress in understanding vision and its relation to cognition, action and the brain. Our primary goal is to host a yearly meeting where both new and established investigators can present and discuss their work.

This year, the Vision Sciences Society’s annual meeting will be held in-person, May 13-18, 2022. Information about exhibiting and sponsoring will be available soon.
