Path to Purchase Institute Member Benefit!

All Path to Purchase members have free trial access to a cutting-edge technology from 3M, and will receive a one-time 50% rebate off the purchase price for one 12-month unlimited-use subscription.

What is VAS?

3M Visual Attention Software (VAS) is artificial intelligence that helps your creative win the first glance, and helps get your creative approved.

VAS simulates an early phase of human vision and predicts what people are likely to notice when they first glance at your creative, but before they're aware of what they're looking at.

Science Inside

VAS simulates human vision when we first glance at an image or scene, but before we're aware of what we're viewing. VAS is calibrated against actual eye tracking studies and comparisons to academic image databases in the first 3-5 seconds of viewing.
