Abstract

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for amblyopia and ocular deviation correction are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a system for amblyopia correction, the system includes, an image processing unit to identify a set of image parameters and, when, in operation, the image processing unit modifies a source visual content based on one or more of the set of image parameters to generate visual content and a visualization unit coupled to the image processing unit operable to receive visual content from the image processing unit, the visualization unit having a screen, when, in operation, the screen displays the visual content.

Claims (16)

1. A head-mountable display apparatus for ocular deviation correction, the apparatus, comprising:

a first optical lens operatively configured for one or more of adjustable rotational movement and adjustable vertical movement;

a first display screen optically coupled to the first optical lens, the first display screen operatively configured for the one or more of the adjustable rotational movement and the adjustable vertical movement;

a first adjustment system coupled to the first optical lens and the first display screen, the first adjustment system operatively configured for the one or more of the adjustable rotational movement and the adjustable vertical movement; and

wherein the one or more of the adjustable rotational movement and the adjustable vertical movement are determined based on a deviation of a first line of sight of a first eye from a predetermined axis.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein, the predetermined axis is determined from on a second line of sight of a second eye.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein, the first adjustment system is further operatively configured to substantially maintain a lens distance between the first eye and the first optical lens and a display distance between the first eye and the first display screen.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein, the first adjustment system is further operatively configured for one or more of, horizontal movement and tilt movement.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising, a measuring means to track the amount and deviation of the first line of sight of the first eye from the predetermined axis.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein, the first display screen is couple-able to a content source; wherein, the content source is one or more of, a video game, a television, a portable computer, a video source, a mobile phone, a digital camera, a camcorder, and a portable media player.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a second optical lens operatively configured for one or more of rotational movement and vertical movement;

a second display screen optically coupled to the second optical lens, the second display screen operatively configured for the one or more of the rotational movement and the vertical movement;

a second adjustment system coupled to the second optical lens and the second display screen, the second adjustment system operatively configured for the one or more of the rotational movement and the vertical movement; and

wherein the one or more of the rotational movement and the vertical movement are independent of the adjustable rotational movement and the adjustable vertical movement, respectively.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein, the one or more of the rotational movement and the vertical movement are determined based on a deviation of a second line of sight of a second eye from the first light of sight of the first eye.
