Rather than implementing a new VR Headset for EyeSkills, could we push the price-point down even further, by hacking the standard Google Cardboard V2 design? That’s one of the questions we explored last weekend at Careable’s first Hackademy! The standard design has a capacitive button which touches the screen as user input when the user…
Super busy day! It started with the kick off of the prototype fund second round: Followed by a journey down to Potsdam for the kick off of the Hackademy! Go team Eyetracktive!
This is an example for how you can build dynamic assets in the EyeSkills Framework. The idea: The code walk-through: If you have alternating strabismus and want to play with this, take the “development” branch from the eyeskills git repository and report/describe your findings as carefully as you can. I’ve added an .apk for self-install…
To avoid confusion, we’re trying to settle on a useful set of terms to describe what we’re talking about when it comes to designing our VR headset. Here’s the current diagram – it will evolve I’m sure:
Now that we’re increasingly certain that alternating strabismus is something in its own right, with different perceptual side-effects to “regular” fixed strabismus, we’re starting to think about how we could better understand/categorise/explore what those perceptions are in a way that can be reliable reported…. Here are some initial ideas one the very simplest first steps…
After a stressful Christmas preparing this talk, it finally happened. Here’s an introduction to EyeSkills, what we’ve achieved, where we’re heading, and what we hope to achieve! Perhaps the most surprising thing about the talk was the resonance it created. We’ve had over thirty people sign up to help as volunteers, over 4 thousand views…
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…
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…
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…
Some more interesting changes to Iteration 2 after another user test with Arthur! It is coming together nicely.
