System and method for simulating driving while being cognitively impaired

A system for demonstrating a cognitive impairment of a user, the system comprising:

• a set of system components, the set including:
• an eyewear device including a first optical filter element configured as a first lens of the eyewear device, the first optical filter element having:
• (i) an optical filtering function having a spectral pass-band around a first wavelength, the first wavelength defining a first color,
• or
• (ii) an overlay affixed to at least a portions of the first optical filter element,
• wherein the overlay includes an overlay pattern that at least partially obscures a peripheral region of the first optical filter element,
• wherein the first optical filter element comprises a plurality of independently-controllable regions configured to be switched, when controlled by a processor, to have different levels of opacity;
• multiple stimulus substrates each bearing a respective graphic representation of a respective system of at least partially intersecting roads and road features on said at least partially intersecting roads, a first graphic representation of a first of the multiple stimulus substrates being different from a second graphic representation of a second of the multiple stimulus substrates;
• a sensor substrate carrying thereon an array of programmable radio-frequency identification sensors that are reversibly activatable, and reversibly repositionable across and/or removable from the sensor substrate;
• and
• a sensor scanner device containing:
• (i) a transmitter and a reader,
• (ii) a feedback system configured to generate at least one of an audible signal, a haptic signal, and a visually-perceivable signal to be recognized by the user in response to operation of the transmitter and the reader and to generate an electrical signal temporarily interrupting a communication between the transmitter and a sensor of said array of programmable radio-frequency identification sensors in response to activation of the feedback system by the user during a user activity, and
• (iii) a sensor scanner device support carrying the sensor scanner device configured to operate in sliding contact or rolling contact with the first substrate overlaying the second substrate during the user activity.
