Employment History
Perceptual Technologies Holdings (PTH) and Perceptual Technologies Ltd (PT) – (Founder Director and CEO)
2002 Founded PTH to research into perceptual awareness and a new form of illusionary space termed Vision-Space and its applications in information display systems
2000-3 Presented at vision science conferences to validate Vision-Space theory
2004 1st patent filed and subsequently issued (2006) internationally.
2004-5 Achieved – proof of concept visual media, business plan, website, conformation of industry and academic support.
2006 Founded PT to commercialise the IP potential of Vision-Space
2006-7 Secured the services of Pretium LLP to examine the patent space – VS formally identified by the TRIZ process as a ‘paradigm shift’ in visual imaging
Raised seed investment £150k for the company to enable the first programming exercises to commence
5 additional provisional patent filings made
Delivered the prototype Vision-Space post-production tool (software)
Obtained presentation at SIGGRAPH (emerging technology)
2009-11 Raise further investment £150k and commercial support (£150k sweat equity) to take the software to commercial product/use.
2010-13 Gained the support of multiple universities across the EU for 2nd generation R&D.
Support from CDE, BAE systems, EADS, QinetiQ, General Dynamics for 2nd generation VS real-time technology
Leading London advertising and 3D companies interested in using VS technology on a commercial basis
2013 Companies dissolved as 2nd stage investment of £2m could not be raised. Patents lapsed.
2014 Universities continuing with VS R&D in association with myself as a researcher. Research projects due to start in Q4 2014

Academic involvement in visual perception
1981 – 1985 University College London, Slade School of Fine Art.
First attempts to challenge conceptual basis of perspective (and optics) as an illusionary space representative of visual field.
1981 – 1992 General interest in theories of relativity, quantum mechanics and light interactions.
Working document – attempts to link aspects of visual perception to the characteristics of light quanta.
1992 – 2000 outline theory of visual perception, linking key artists of the last two centuries with an evolving appreciation of aspects of visual perception based on new monocular cues. Methodology of intuitive record establishes a new form of illusionary space.
2000 – 2002 Document – ‘Visual Perception’ taken to the vision science community.
2000 Society for Neuroscience Conference, Miami, Florida. Special interest – synchronised firing of ganglion cells and the functionality of the retina.
2000 1st presentation in a scientific forum “Can you see what the artist sees” European Conference on Visual Perception (ECVP).
2001 Vision Science Society (VSS) (ARVO) Sarasota, Florida. Contact Prof. Thomas Papathomas makes introductions. Contacts develop with: Prof. Jan Koenderink & Chris Tyler.

Conference title – The Art of Seeing (Attendance sponsored by Arts Council).
2002 Event “Having the Courage of Your Perceptions” – Official satellite event to ECVP – Staged by Atelier Vision at the Light House Gallery, Glasgow.
Exhibition of works by Artists with interests in visual perception.
Talks by artists and scientists – making substantive links between the intuitive records made by visual artists and the proof environment of vision science.
2002 Poster ECVP – Handles on Visual Perception.
2003 Poster ECVP – Visual images tell us a great deal about ‘how’ we see the world and this information can be used to generate more meaningful 2D representations of ‘real settings’.
2003 Research proposals discussed at Bristol University and The University of Bath to assist with the production of prototype transformations of 2D media (film and animation) and to test these by psychophysical process. Invited member of Cognit group.
2003 Attendance at conferences becomes impossible due to the confidentiality required for patent applications. Prof Jan Koenderink D.Sc become scientific advisor to Atelier Vision
2004-6 Sustained contact with Prof. Jan Koenderink who provides ‘disorder’ algorithms. Also assists with background evaluations and general comments on theoretical and technology developments.
