Visual Search
Visual search is a type of perceptual task requiring attention. Visual search involves an active scan of the visual environment for a particular
object or feature (the target) among other objects or features (the distracters). Visual search can take place either with or without eye movements. Common examples include trying to locate a certain brand of cereal at the grocery store or a friend in a crowd. The scientific study of visual search typically makes use of simple, well-defined search items such as oriented bars or colored letters.

The Brundtland Commission of the United Nations (1987): “sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” It is usually noted that this requires the reconciliation of environmental, social and economic demands - the "three pillars" of sustainability
