SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF EYE EXERCISES

Abstract

The efficacy of eye exercises can be evaluated via a virtual reality (VR) system, which can include a VR headset in electronic communication with a computing device. The computing device causes virtual environments to be displayed on the VR headset. The computing device also causes an initial vision assessment, a series of eye exercises, and a final vision assessment to be displayed in the virtual environment. Using varying combinations of eye-tracking sensors, eye-tracking cameras, motion-tracking sensors, handheld devices, and microphones, the VR headset collects data about the user as she completes the initial vision assessment, the eye exercises, and the final vision assessment. Optionally, advanced algorithms in the computing device can process the initial and final vision assessments to evaluate the effectiveness of the eye exercises. Optionally, the advanced algorithms can recommend changes to the eye exercises to help the user improve her vision more quickly and efficiently.
