About Viscog Productions
Viscog Productions, Inc. was founded in 2003 with the goal of collecting powerful demonstrations for use in presentations by speakers, teachers, consultants, and trainers. Each of our collections includes many short videos and demonstrations that allow presenters to induce failures of awareness in their audiences and to illustrate how easily people can miss the obvious. All of the videos come directly from the research of scientists who study attention and perception. Because we provide the actual demonstrations used by the scientists in their research, the videos lack Hollywood production values. Critically, though, they have documented effectiveness. With each collection, we tips for presenting and explaining the demonstrations.
About Our Products
All of our products are digital downloads available immediately after you complete your purchase. The Inattentional Blindness Collection provides a set of stand-alone videos, including the Selective Attention Test "gorilla" video from Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris, the "monkey business illusion," and other demonstrations of failures of awareness. Our other products include downloadable DVDs: Surprising Studies Volumes 1, 2, and 1+2. Those are playable using your computer's DVD playback software (or free software like VLC Media Player) or they can burned to a DVD disk for playback on a regular DVD player. Volume 1 also includes the Selective Attention Test video along with other demonstrations of failures of awareness and failures to detect change. Volume 2 includes the "door" study from Daniel Simons and Daniel Levin and many other demos. Volume 1+2 combines all of the contents from Surprising Studies 1 and Surprising Studies 2 on a single DVD disk (vol 1+2). You learn more about each on our Products page. (Note: The shopping part of our website has a slightly different appearance than the rest of our site.)
