Abstract
A device that simulates motion used for training and testing accommodation, vergence, and dynamic visual acuity is provided. The device includes an apparatus having plurality of light sources that can be adjusted in color and luminance disposed on a flexible substrate that can be adjusted to adjust the path and signal to simulate motion of an object. The device can include a controller that includes a processor to provide pre-determined, customizable, or random timing, location, and sequence of the motion presentation. The user response to the simulated motion can be collected, processed, and transmitted by the controller.
Claims31
A system for training and/or testing an individual's visual, oculomotor, or sensorimotor abilities that comprises:
- an apparatus comprising a plurality of light sources provided on a first side of a flexible substrate;
- an actuator configured to be at least electrically connected to the apparatus to activate each of the plurality of light sources from which light is emitted that is visible to an individual;
- a response input device that receives a response input from the individual, the response input made in response to emitted light from one or more of the plurality of light sources, wherein the response input device comprises a manually operable button;
- and
- a controller in communication with the actuator and the response input device, wherein the controller controls at least one of a sequence, color, and luminance of each of the plurality of light sources, receives the response input, and electronically collects data in an electronic format for further processing, wherein the plurality of light sources provide a visual impression of a straight or curved path of motion simulation by progressively activating individual lights on the flexible substrate.
A method for testing or training an individual's visual, oculomotor, or sensorimotor abilities comprising:
- providing an individual with an apparatus comprising a plurality of light sources disposed on a first side of a flexible substrate;
- providing a user response input device, wherein the user response input device comprises a manually operable button;
- activating one or more light sources in a temporal manner via an actuator, wherein the plurality of light sources provide a visual impression of a straight or curved path of motion simulation by progressively activating individual lights on the flexible substrate;
- receiving an input from the individual on the user response input device and the receiving the input comprises the individual manually actuating the manually operable button,
- processing the input and comparing the input with one or more previous inputs;
- and
- visually displaying results of the processing.
