To understand most of the code in EyeSkills, you’ll need to get a grasp of Euler angles and Quaternions. Here is a good place to get a first feel and move on to other resources! http://www.opengl-tutorial.org/intermediate-tutorials/tutorial-17-quaternions/
Monovision and Light Fields
A collection of interesting videos about accommodation/vergence issues in VR headsets, and how to work around them using light fields and binocular suppression(Monovision !!!)

Eye Suppression – Opportunities to learn more
I am really quite fascinated by when and what causes suppression. We can see from our quite simple approaches to triggering conflict that the idea of conflict neurons seems to make sense – but there are so many ways we could potentially test the edges of when and why conflict occurs, and push those boundaries.
EyeSkills presenting in South Korea!
We will presenting our open-source software for unlocking Stereo Vision at the WMIT conference in Wonju (South Korea) on the 5th of September, should you happen to be in the neighbourhood!
Refactoring for flexibility
A prototype is, well, a prototype. It breaths life into an idea, it takes an interactive form, and this generates new ideas and insights. Alongside functional ideas and insights (hey! wouldn’t it be cool if the user could do *that*!) – are engineering ideas and insights (hey! wouldn’t it be cool if we could make…
Mastering eye realignment by watching videos! – An interesting community suggestion
Thanks to a great suggestion from Rafal in Poland, I have a first working version in which a participant can watch video in way taking into account both their eye misalignment and also the binocular suppression ratio needed to get both eyes working. When they click “ok”, the video screen on the strabismic eye starts…
Aniseikonia challenge ;-)
Some of the lovely people on the Facebook Group “DIY Vision Therapy” were talking about Aniseikonia. This is a situation in which the mind perceives the image from each eye as being a different size. I wondered how fast we could use the EyeSkills framework to implement a basic first version of a measurement tool. The…
A metaphor for strabismus and amblyopia
Strabismus and Amblyopia are like a lock, which evolution has put in place to enforce monocular vision once a problem with binocular vision has been detected. We are learning how to pick that lock, how to open the visual system back up to a point where a person has a second chance at learning how to…
The final, final, final version of Iteration 2. Honest.
Some more interesting changes to Iteration 2 after another user test with Arthur! It is coming together nicely.
