System and method for improving the peripheral vision of a subject
Systems and methods for improving the peripheral vision of a subject are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure includes a method, which may be embodied on a system, for improving peripheral vision of a subject using a visual marker on a display screen, the method includes, displaying a peripheral target on the display screen, the peripheral target having a visually discernable characteristic and determining whether the subject is able to correctly identify the peripheral target displayed on the display screen using the peripheral vision. The visual marker is intended for viewing using central vision of the subject and the peripheral target is intended for identification using the peripheral vision of the subject.
1. A method, comprising:
displaying a first information on a head mounted display in a central vision region of a user of said head mounted display;
instructing the user to look at the first information;
displaying a second information to the user on the head mounted display in a peripheral vision region of the user;
receiving, from an input device, identification information indicating what the user perceives the second information to indicate;
determining whether identification information matches the second information;
in response to the identification information matching the second information, displaying additional information at the peripheral vision region of the user; and
in response to the identification information not matching the second information, iteratively displaying other information at the peripheral vision region until the identification information matches the other information.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first information is static.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first information is dynamic.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first information includes at least one of an alphanumeric character, a shape, or an image.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second information is static.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second information is dynamic.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second information includes at least one of an alphanumeric character, a shape, or an image.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first information includes a game content.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second information includes a game content.
10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: capturing an image or a video of an eye of the user.
11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: providing audible information to the user in conjunction with displaying the information.
12. A method, comprising:
displaying first visual information on a head mounted display in a central vision region of a user of said head mounted display;
instructing the user to look at the first visual information;
displaying second visual information on the head mounted display in a peripheral vision region of the subject;
receiving, from an input device, identification information indicating what the user perceives the second visual information to indicate;
in response to the identification information matching the second visual information, displaying additional information at the peripheral vision region of the user; and
in response to the identification information not matching the second visual information, iteratively displaying other information at the peripheral vision region until the identification information matches the other information.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the first visual information is static.
14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the first visual information is dynamic.
15. The method of claim 12 , wherein the first visual information includes at least one of an alphanumeric character, a shape, or an image.
16. The method of claim 12 , wherein the first visual information includes a game content.
17. The method of claim 12 , further comprising capturing an image or a video of an eye of the user.
18. The method of claim 12 , further comprising providing audible information to the user in conjunction with displaying the first visual information.
