12 results about "Hyperacuity" patented technology

The sharpness of our senses is defined by the finest detail we can discriminate. Visual acuity is measured by the smallest letters that can be distinguished on a chart and is governed by the anatomical spacing of the mosaic of sensory elements on the retina. Yet spatial distinctions can be made on a finer scale still: misalignment of borders can be detected with a precision up to 10 times better than visual acuity, as already shown by Ewald Hering in 1899. This hyperacuity, transcending by far the size limits set by the retinal 'pixels', depends on sophisticated information processing in the brain.

Methods and systems for employing photorealistic environments to evaluate visual acuity and perception

A virtual eye test can be conducted to evaluate visual acuity and perception in a virtual reality (VR) environment. The test can be conducted using an electronic device that includes a head-mounted display (HMD) and a camera. The electronic device can generate a VR user interface corresponding to photorealistic virtual environment and render the VR user interface on the HMD. The electronic device can simulate one or more real-world scenarios and while simulating the one or more real-world scenarios, in real time, track eye movements and responses from the wearer for testing visual acuity and perception of the wearer.

Method for determining an indication of an acuity level of a user

A computer implemented method and corresponding computer program product and device determine an indication of a user's acuity level. The methods and devices facilitate performance of acuity tests in a decentralized manner while establishing a desired test accuracy irrespective of a particular type of device or display, to determine the indication in a reliable manner. A computer implemented method includes the steps of: performing an optical acuity test using a control unit in communication with a device display having a predefined resolution; and displaying the optical acuity test on the display. The displayed optical acuity test includes a graphical representation with a discontinuity and prompts the user to identify the discontinuity by providing a response. The control unit and display provide that the optical acuity test is adjusted by generating and displaying the discontinuity based on the response and based on anti-aliasing using one or more display pixels.

Methods and systems for evaluating dynamic visual acuity in virtual reality environments

A virtual eye test can be conducted to evaluate visual acuity in a dynamic virtual reality (VR) environment. The test uses an electronic device with a head-mounted display (HMD) and a camera. The device generates a VR user interface corresponding to a three-dimensional virtual environment and renders it on the HMD. A dynamic real-world visual experience is simulated in the VR interface. The device tracks eye movements and response times to visual stimuli presented in this dynamic experience, using the camera. Depth perception, motion detection, and spatial awareness are evaluated based on these measurements, providing a comprehensive assessment of dynamic visual acuity.
