Abstract
A virtual reality (VR) system can be implemented to evaluate visual discomfort in users with eye strain sensitivity. The system utilizes an electronic device equipped with a high-resolution VR headset and eye-tracking sensors. The system generates a VR user interface that simulates visually demanding tasks and renders this interface on the VR headset. Within this virtual environment, the system presents a series of interactive scenarios designed to potentially induce visual stress. Throughout these scenarios, the system continuously monitors the user's eye movements and behavior using the eye-tracking sensors. The collected data is then analyzed for indicators of eye strain and visual discomfort, potentially providing insights into individual susceptibility to visual stress and informing strategies for mitigating discomfort in VR and other visually demanding environments.
