The (Good) Eyes Have It

June 27, 2017 By Julia 1 Comment

Good eyesight is one thing, but enhanced stereoscopic vision? That’s sharp!

New visual neuroscience research from the University of California, Berkeley supports one thing that Julia already knew: good eyesight is an asset in working with textiles, practically a pre-requisite for the job. But, as this recently released data reveals, dressmakers and those, like Julia, who work closely with their hands are likely to have a super power: an enhanced “ability to accurately perceive depth and distance between objects — to see in 3-D.” Read the article & research, featuring Julia, here.

    I love it, Julia! The science answers a lot of questions — how we can see details so clearly. When I repair quilts people often say, “how can you even see that?” Seems like a piece of cake to me – i thought everyone could see like that! I guess our professions chose us??
