Abstract

A virtual reality (VR) system can be implemented to identify potential eye strain issues through prolonged engagement. The system employs an electronic device featuring a high-resolution VR headset with integrated eye-tracking sensors. It generates a VR user interface corresponding to a three-dimensional virtual environment and renders it on the VR headset. Within this environment, the system presents a series of progressively challenging visual tasks. Throughout these tasks, the system continuously monitors the user's eye movements and behavior using the eye-tracking sensors. The collected data is then evaluated for indicators of eye strain, potentially allowing for early detection and intervention in cases of visual discomfort during extended VR use.
