The present invention relates to a means for creating a visual illusion of directional movement based on stationary motion elements referred to as “motion pixels.” In various embodiments, methods for using the directional illusion are provided, such as 1) the measurement and / or assessment of visual performance in active and virtual reality environments, 2) the measurement and / or assessment of acuity, in conjunction with eye trackers so as to measure visual performance in nonverbal or potentially malingering observers, 3) the enhancement of advertising and marketing by drawing attention to a desired symbol, and 4) the enhancement of images so as to produce the appearance of motion in otherwise stationary images.

A method for optimizing an amount of colors used in content data is described. At least one content object is received and it is analyzed if any of the received content objects is a predetermined type. At least one color used within the at least one content object of the predetermined type is determined and the received content objects are rendered to a raster canvas so that the at least one color is protected. Information on the at least one color is stored and at least one characteristic of the rendered content is compared to at least one predetermined criteria. In case of mismatch the amount of colors used in the content of the raster canvas is optimized so that the at least one color used in at least one rendered content object of the predetermined type is protected. Finally, the content is compressed and output.

In one aspect, the present invention provides a method for correcting vision that employs two lenses, at least one of which is a multifocal lens, with different focusing characteristics for use in the two eyes of the patient. The visual performance of each lens (e.g., visual contrast or acuity) is selected in accordance with a predefined relation so as to optimize the binocular visual performance provided by the combination of the lenses.

A colorized musical notation system could be embodied as a computer that can combine assigned colors representing musical notes with a scale degree pattern and visually display a selected portion of the result for the purpose of directing someone in a musical performance. The visual manifestation could be enhanced by including mnemonics along with interconnected fingerboard patterns that provide self-contained directions for playing common scales such as the major pentatonic, the minor pentatonic, and the blues scales, along with all seven modes. Chords could be constructed by playing selected scale degree tones simultaneously rather than consecutively as with scales. The computer could also present a means of suggesting tone combinations to create particular aural and psychological effects. An exhaustive selection of scales and chords may be constructed if one knows the proper formulas. The colorized notation system could be used to construct written musical notation.

Social remote eye screening and monitoring gamification through integration of modular assessments of visual function into the objectives of interactive games to encourage compliance to testing instructions to facilitate improved fidelity, remote frequent reassessment / trending, and / or automated interpretation. These are developed on any platform, including virtual and / or 3-dimensional gaming platforms which include immersive and deep-dive gaming technology platforms such as virtual reality, augmented reality or mixed reality. This novel process will also be deployed on any future platforms that involve headsets or image projections that physically surround users with virtual stimuli.

Techniques for a visual disability detection system that employs virtual reality to assess visual performance of a patient based on activities of daily living are described. The virtual reality platform can integrate the testing of different components of visual function based on activities of daily living to provide a direct and clinically relevant measure of the impact of any visual disability on a patient's daily life. By simulating daily tasks for evaluation of visual disability, clinicians can better understand from a patient's perspective how visual impairment affects their daily tasks and quality of life.

A method and system are disclosed for providing personalized traffic reports. A personalized traffic report is a relatively short, audio-visual presentation that includes an audio narrative by an announcer describing the traffic conditions along a user's selected route, synchronized with a video presentation that includes maps with animations showing the traffic conditions and a visual representation of the announcer. A traffic data services provider determines traffic conditions that pertain to a user's identified particular route, i.e. from an origin to a destination. Then, the traffic data services provider forms an audio-video file that includes an audio narrative in the voice of an announcer that describes the traffic conditions along the user's route, along with a visual map representation of the user's route, a graphical indication of the traffic conditions along the route, and a visual representation of the announcer. The traffic data services provider transmits the audio-video file of the personalized traffic report to the user, who then plays it back on a computing device.

The invention relates to a method for selecting a color filter intended to be worn by a subject in order to improve his visual performance for a given visual task to be realized in a given environment. According to the invention, said method comprises the steps of: submitting said subject to a colored spatio-temporal visual stimulus adapted to evaluate said visual performance for said given visualtask, said stimulus being designed so that its chromaticity may be modified; evaluating the visual performance of the subject based on his visual perception of said visual stimulus, the chromaticityof the visual stimulus taking at least two distinct values, each chromaticity being uniform; and selecting said color filter based on the results of said evaluation. The invention further proposes anoptical article comprising such a color filter. The invention finally provides a system for selecting a color filter using said method.

The invention relates to a naked eye 3D image display system based on a physical photo frame. The display system at least comprises a physical photo frame, a projector and a camera, wherein the physical photo frame is located between a display background plate and the projector and is fixed on the display background plate. The naked eye 3D image display system uses the physical photo frame as a reference object, and compares a three-dimensional (3D) image projected through projection and the shadow effect of the 3D image with the boundary of the physical photo frame, so that a scene of virtualnaked eye 3D visual images is formed in the brain of a viewer, and the viewer also considers that the 3D image in the physical photo frame crosses the boundary of the physical photo frame, and thus the illusion of naked eye 3D vision can be achieved. The visual experience breaks through conventional propagation modes such as flat display panels, advertising light boxes and television sets, creates a brand new visual expression mode, and further enriches the expression forms of existing exhibitions and display.
