METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR TESTING COGNITIVE LOAD AND MENTAL FATIGUE EFFECTS ON VISION USING VIRTUAL REALITY

Abstract

A virtual reality (VR) system can be implemented to test the effects of cognitive load and mental fatigue on vision. The system employs an electronic device featuring a high-resolution VR headset with integrated eye-tracking sensors. The system generates a VR user interface that simulates high-stress multitasking scenarios and renders this interface on the VR headset. Within this virtual environment, the system presents a series of interactive multitasking scenarios designed to induce varying levels of cognitive load. Throughout these scenarios, 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 cognitive load and mental fatigue, potentially revealing how these factors may influence visual performance and eye behavior in demanding cognitive situations.
