Abstract
An automated method for testing peripheral and expanded visual fields on limited field of view head-mounted device. The method has a fixation point that is placed in multiple locations of the field of view to test stimuli points that would be outside of the field of view of a head-mounted device if the fixation point were in the center. Stimuli points are grouped together and are associated with fixation points. Each stimulus appears individually on an opposite side of the fixation point in the field of view. The stimuli points may be static or dynamic. The method is applied as visual field diagnostic tool for Ptosis disorder, Esterman test, or any expanded peripheral Visual Field test.
Claims20
An automated method for testing peripheral and expanded visual fields on limited field of view head-mounted device, comprising the steps of:
- A) displaying a virtual introduction on performing a peripheral visual field test on a head-mounted device, whereby said head-mounted device comprises a computer having virtual reality software to operate virtual reality visual field testing;
- B) providing a virtual interactive tutorial automatically;
- C) beginning said peripheral visual fields test automatically after said virtual interactive tutorial;
- D) showing a fixation point at a first location of a field of view automatically for a patient to focus on for a duration of said peripheral visual field test;
- E) displaying a first sequence of stimuli points for said first location of said fixation point automatically;
- F) clicking on a trigger of a controller by said patient when said stimuli points are seen;
- G) showing said fixation point at a second location of said field of view automatically for said patient to focus on for the duration of said peripheral visual field test;
- H) displaying a second sequence of said stimuli points for said second location of said fixation point automatically;
- I) clicking on said trigger of said controller by said patient when said stimuli points are seen;
- J) showing said fixation point at a third location of said field of view automatically for said patient to focus on for the duration of said peripheral visual field test;
- K) displaying a third sequence of said stimuli points for said third location of said fixation point automatically;
- L) clicking on said trigger of said controller by said patient when said stimuli points are seen;
- M) placing said fixation point at additional different locations sequentially and automatically until all predetermined sequences of said stimuli points have been tested;
- N) ending said peripheral visual field test.
