SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING VISUAL STRESSORS IN OFFICE ENVIRONMENTS AND RECOMMENDING ERGONOMIC ADJUSTMENTS

Abstract

A user's visual health can be improved 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, which can include features such as furniture, lighting, and equipment, to be displayed on the VR headset. 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 visual tasks in the virtual environment as the features are changed. Optionally, the virtual environment is the user's workplace, and she completes various tasks in the virtual workplace to determine an ergonomically ideal workplace arrangement. Optionally, advanced algorithms in the computing device can dynamically alter the features to optimize the user's visual and physical comfort in her workplace.
