SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONDUCTING OCCUPATIONAL VISION TESTING USING SIMULATED UNDERWATER ENVIRONMENTS

Abstract

A user's visual capabilities 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 simulated underwater environments, which can include objects, optotypes, and various lighting conditions, 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 participates in visual tasks within the simulated underwater environments. Optionally, advanced algorithms in the computing device dynamically alter the simulated underwater environments and the visual tasks and analyze the user's responses to evaluate the user's underwater visual capabilities and her qualification for jobs that require her to work underwater.
