Individual nystagmus simulated training experience

A system for simulating a horizontal gaze nystagmus (HGN) test, comprising:

• a computer system comprising a processor and a memory coupled to the processor;
• and
• a motion capture device coupled to the computer system, wherein the motion capture device configured to capture movements of a trainee;
• wherein the memory comprises program instructions executable by the processor to implement:
• presenting a computer simulation of a virtual subject capable of exhibiting nystagmus to a trainee on a display screen of the computer system;
• capturing the movements of the trainee using the computer system during the administration of a HGN test to the virtual subject;
• and
• simulating nystagmus in the virtual subject using the computer system if the trainee properly administers the HGN test.

A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium comprising program instructions stored thereon, wherein the program instructions are configured to implement:

• presenting a computer simulation of a virtual subject capable of exhibiting nystagmus to a trainee on a display screen of the computer system;
• capturing the movements of the trainee using the computer system during the administration of a HGN test to the virtual subject;
• and
• simulating nystagmus in the virtual subject using the computer system if the trainee properly administers the HGN test.
