Some of the best training exercises are quite unexpected. When we speedread and when we generate details on our markers it is important to have accurate visual perception. To have such perception, one can train finding objects in images. There are many hidden objects games. I used to play for months before my speedreading became …
Controlling dimensionality of your markers
When we discuss “visual markers” we address some objects that can be processed by the right hemisphere of one’s brain.

The visual markers we use are actually very specific and have a lot of details encoded into them, but these details are not …
How long does it take to generate a marker: discussion.
In the previous post we described some theoretical aspects related to speed of generation and linking visual markers. Here I want to dive in into some interesting conversations on the subject. Scientist007 : A problem with using markers. Now the use of markers can be used anywhere, anytime, with anything. However, I have problem …

Introduction Take our …
