The Fall Vision Meeting was held in October, 2002, at the Palace of Fine Arts, San Francisco, California, in cooperation with the Optical Society of America. The Palace was originally built as temporary home for the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in 1915, but thanks to concerted conservation effects, it survives today as home to the Exploratorium - a "hands-on" sicence museum launched by Frank Oppenheimer to promote the public understanding of science. On the evening of October 24~th, vision scientists gathered at the SEEING collection to exercise their minds with exhibits on perception and attention. Alongside a set of 40 new exhibits designed by staff neuroscientist Richard Brown and his colleagues, were old favorites like Ames Room and a Land and McCann 2-colour projection display.
