EyeSkills is already a complex piece of software, with many thousands of hours poured into its design, execution and testing. So far, most of these costs have been met privately – after all, this started out as a project to help my son. In the past six months we have received generous funding from the…
EyeSkills at Bionection 2018!
For the next two days I’ll be in Dresden, promoting EyeSkills at Bionection. Our presentation will be in Panel 4 (Smart Medical Devices) alongside some very interesting other speakers (https://www.bionection.com/en/program).
Git Fight Rules!
As you know by now, EyeSkills is hosted on BitBucket as a git repository. Git can be pretty confusing if you haven’t had a few years experience with it, but this might help! This is a great set of “Fight Rules” for dealing with common (and not so common) situations! https://github.com/k88hudson/git-flight-rules
Introduction to the EyeSkills Framework
This is a quick overview of what the EyeSkills framework contains.

Another surprising user test with Mr C!
EyeSkills Feature demonstration / user test with Cliff W – 02.09.2018 This was intended as a quick test of new features, but it generated some very interesting ideas and insights.

You spin me right round
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 !!!)
