Instructions:
Open google search and choose random image. Look at the image for 10 seconds. Close your eyes and try to visualize the image. Be accurate regarding number and position of details. Remember as many details as possible. Try to visualize the entire image.
Combo of various fun images (Get pictures!)
Low level visualization: toy cars (Get car!)
Middle level visualization: optical illusions (Get illusion!)
High level visualization: fantastic landscapes (Get landscape!)

Can I substitute this exercise with a Memory visualization app/game, like Percept for Android? (You can check it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=e4.percept&hl=en) Because in my opinion, the goals and the objetives in that kind of games are more specific and less ambiguous to measure visual memory, than looking for a random image on Google. But I dont know, Im just a newbie. What do you think?
Everybody is different. You can try both approaches and then focus on what works best.
Hello,
I should be able to see the image or just recall the image? I can’t actually visualize it but i can recall how the image was and all his details. Is this allright?
Yes. Visualization is often subliminal.
Personally I do not see the details in my mind, but kind of feel them. This is some strange sort of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia.
Very efficient to go super high speeds, but may cause issues with retention unless you link thoroughly.
Hello,
How many pictures in 20 mins should I try to visualize and how what’s a good number once I start getting good at it?
This specific exercise is qualitative rather than quantitative. It should be used to enhance the variability of your imagery, take you to more creative thinking. For quantitative training please use http://www.keytostudy.com/random-images-generator/.
Should I make a 3D object of the toy car and spin it around in space, while remembering details of it. Or take the toy car image and try to hold it in position and remembering the details
Difference is creating a image from memory vs trying remember a image.
Good question. As far as I am concerned there are 3 “levels” of visualization:
1: Remember the image as is
2: Transform the image into an object. Try to manipulate the object in 3D space.
3: “Activate” the object and see how it interacts with other objects in complex environment (need to work with at least 3 objects)
Each has its benefits, I suggest to exercise each method.
Cool. I naturally started with making the image, then making it into a 3D object. After that I tended to imagine the object in my hand, the texture and weight. Throwing it at the wall, the shock impact feel and sound.
Working with 3+ objects at the same time will be hard. But I’ll work on it.
Thanks for answering.
Am I supposed to see the image vivid, like a hallucination or something similar, meaning that the brain won’t be able to tell if its actually real?
Cause now I am just able to picture just parts plus not very clearly and its all black around, maybe I’am forgetting about the light though, idk. Thx for answer ^.^
Something in the middle, like augmented reality. Think star wars hologram.
