DETECTING PHYSICAL ASPECTS OF AN EYE USING INWARD-FACING SENSORS IN AN ARTIFICIAL REALITY HEADSET
Methods, systems, and storage media for eye tracking in artificial reality (e.g., virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality, etc.) headsets are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: generate a simulated environment for a user through an artificial reality headset; track an eye of the user through an eye sensor responsive to the artificial reality headset being worn by the user; detect a physical aspect of the eye through the eye sensor indicative of an eye malady; and adjust a display setting of the artificial reality headset based at least in part on the detected physical aspect of the eye.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COLOR MAPPING FOR IMPROVED VIEWING BY A COLOR VISION DEFICIENT OBSERVER
A method and system for color mapping digital visual content for improved viewing by a color vision deficient observer includes receiving the digital visual content to be color mapped, clustering color values of the digital visual content into a plurality of color clusters, assigning each color cluster to a respective one of a set of target color values in which the set of target color values have increased visual distinguishability for the color vision deficient observer; and for each color cluster, mapping the color values of the color cluster to the target color value, thereby generating a color-mapped digital visual content. One or more regions of interest of the content can be identified and the color mapping may be applied onto to those regions of interest.
Training method, program and computing device for ameliorating visual field defect
Disclosed are training method, program and computing device to ameliorate visual field defect. The method includes presenting, by a computer, a virtual first object on a screen, wherein the first object is presented in an approaching manner toward the subject from a first position to a second position, when a position of the first object reaches the second position, the dividing, by the computer, of the first object into objects and presenting the divided objects on the screen or removing, by the computer, the first object from the screen, when the first object is divided or removed, presenting, by the computer, a virtual second object and a virtual third object on the screen, and receiving, by the computer, an identification input about the second object and the third object from a response input device of the subject.
DETERMINING VISION RELATED PHYSICAL CONDITIONS FROM CROSS-PARAMETER VISION TESTS
A method and system for determining visual related physical conditions of a user of a display device, determined from the user's responses to a selection of visual-tasks. A dataset is provided for correlating the user's responses with the corresponding scores, so that by measuring the degree of correlation between the user's scores and a predetermined combination of the corresponding scores, the user's visual physical condition can be determined. A system is also provided, including a user device as well as a remote server for providing visual acuity and related testing to detect certain vision deficiencies and visual related physical conditions. In addition, a user device application is provided.
REPLICATING EFFECTS OF OPTICAL LENSES
This disclosure relates to an electronic device for compensating for a visual impairment. The electronic device comprises a display to display a graphical user interface to a user and an input port to receive a request for modifying the graphical user interface to compensate for a visual impairment of the user. The device further comprises a processor to modify the graphical user interface to compensate for a visual impairment of the user by replicating an optical effect of one or more optical lenses. A visually impaired user can operate the device because the processor modifies the interface to compensate for the visual impairment. Without the modification of the interface, it would be difficult for the user to operate the device because the visual impairment causes the interface to appear blurred.
SYSTEM, DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR IMPROVING VISUAL AND/OR AUDITORY TRACKING OF A PRESENTATION GIVEN BY A PRESENTER
A system, device, and method to improve visual and/or auditory tracking of a presentation given by a presenter, the system having a first electronic device integrating a first piece of software for obtaining information run in the device; a second electronic device integrating a second piece of software; a microphone for obtaining auditory information of the presentation; a compact module comprising a single-board computer, a router, a power supply, a fixed camera for acquiring information of the presentation shown in a support, and a moving camera for acquiring information of the presenter's position; tracking device for obtaining presenter tracking information based on the information of the position. The second piece of software is adapted for showing the information run in the first electronic device, the auditory information of the presentation, the information shown through the support, and the presenter tracking information.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ACCESSIBLE COMPUTER-USER SCENARIOS
Implementations described herein relate to methods, systems, and computer-readable media for accessible computer-user scenarios. For example, a method can include displaying a graphical user interface on a display screen. The graphical user interface includes a virtual assessment, the virtual assessment is representative of an assessment examination, and the graphical user interface further comprises a graphical region that represents a portion of a logical problem of the assessment examination. The method can also include determining placement and/or alignment of an embossed screen overlay that allows a visually-disabled person to interact with the computer.
AUTHORING AND OPTIMIZATION OF ACCESSIBLE COLOR THEMES
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to computer storage, methods, and systems for the optimization of accessible color themes. Systems and methods are disclosed that leverage the use of confusion lines to identify and highlight relationships between colors that may be inaccessible (e.g., indistinguishable) for a person with a vision impairment, such as a color vision deficiency. In some embodiments, a graphical user interface is provided that, based on a selection of colors in a color wheel, visually indicates curves of confusion for each color in the selection of colors. Each curve of confusion visually indicates a confusion of colors for a type of vision impairment, such as a CVD.
HANDHELD, PORTABLE VISION AID DEVICE AND VISION AID SYSTEM
A vision aid device comprises a housing having a proximal end, a distal end and a longitudinal axis therebetween. The proximal end has an eyepiece for holding up to an eye and viewing into the vision aid device to view a video display mounted within the housing. A camera is mounted within the housing at the distal end of the housing and is aimed in the direction of the longitudinal axis. A controller is mounted in the housing and is operably coupled to the camera and the video display. The controller is configured to: activate the camera to capture images in a field of view of the camera; and magnify the images to a currently set magnification and display on the display the magnified images on the video display. The device may have a finder function for toggling between the magnified view and an unmagnified view.
Augmented reality display for macular degeneration
Disclosed is a providing visual assistance using a head-worn device including one or more display devices and one or more cameras. The method comprises capturing a forward visual field using at least one of the cameras and displaying a portion of the forward visual field in a peripheral field of view using one or more of the display devices. The method may provide improved visual perception for people with macular degeneration. The method may include mapping a central portion of the forward visual field to a near-peripheral field of view, wherein the mapped central portion is displayed in a peripheral field of view using a forward display device of the head-worn device. A portion of the forward visual field may also be displayed in a peripheral field of view using a peripheral display device of the head-worn device.
