Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional visual assessment methods are used in clinical environments with fixed parameters, then reliability of assessment is maintained, but adaptability to varying lighting conditions and backgrounds is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts test parameters including luminosity levels, background colors, and stimulus presentation based on real-time eye-tracking data and environmental conditions. The virtual reality environment allows continuous modification of lighting conditions and test parameters during assessment, enabling reliable color perception evaluation across varying ambient conditions that traditional fixed-parameter methods cannot accommodate.
2Ease of operation
If traditional visual assessment methods are used with standardized equipment, then measurement precision is ensured, but ease of operation for home use is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses a camera to capture images of the user's eye and employs image processing algorithms to create a digital representation that mimics clinical eye examination conditions. This virtual copy of the clinical assessment environment, combined with eye-tracking technology, enables home-based users to undergo precise color perception testing without requiring specialized clinical equipment, thus improving ease of operation while maintaining measurement precision.
3Measurement precision
If traditional methods are used without dynamic parameter adjustment, then device complexity is reduced, but measurement precision for color perception is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The system systematically varies multiple parameters including luminosity levels, background chromaticity, stimulus size, and presentation duration to comprehensively assess color perception across different viewing conditions. Eye-tracking data is used to dynamically adjust these parameters in real-time, optimizing measurement precision for detecting subtle color vision deficiencies while managing device complexity through software-based control rather than complex hardware modifications.

AI summary
A virtual reality (VR) system can be implemented for evaluating color perception under varying luminosities and backgrounds. The system can use an electronic device featuring a head-mounted display (HMD) and eye-tracking sensors. The system can generate a VR user interface that creates an immersive three-dimensional virtual environment, rendered on the HMD. Within this virtual space, the system can present a variety of color perception tasks, systematically altering luminosity and background conditions. As users engage with these tasks, the eye-tracking sensors can continuously monitor responses in real-time. The system can then analyze the data gathered from these interactions to assess the user's color perception performance.
