Julian Hochberg was able to do pioneering work on the integration of snapshot-like views of the world with individual visual impressions to create a complete world view "in front of the mind's eye". His work on the problem of shape and how our perception is structured to maximize both the likelihood of accuracy and simplicity is considered fundamental. In more recent works, Hochberg has dealt with visual perception and its underlying processes in a multidisciplinary approach, with an emphasis on moving images in all forms, including works from the entertainment industry , head-mounted displays or animations . He sees films as one of the most important modern technologies that are increasingly being created on the computer and that are still largely unexplored as a source for understanding the cognition and motivation on which they depend.
