Apparatus and method for providing virtual reality-based eye movement exercise and visual perception training

An apparatus for providing virtual reality-based eye movement exercise and visual perception training, the apparatus comprising:

• a communication module;
• an input module;
• a display module including a plurality of displays including a first display and a second display corresponding to eyes of a test subject, respectively;
• a memory configured to store at least one process that is necessary to provide the virtual reality-based eye movement exercise and visual perception training;
• and
• a control module configured to perform a control to perform the virtual reality-based eye movement exercise and visual perception training based on the at least one process,
• wherein the control module is configured to:
• output a first image and a second image, which express dichoptic presentation for deriving a binocular disparity on the first display and the second display;
• acquire visual information on the test subject based on a response of the test subject to the dichoptic presentation received through the input module;
• and
• perform a control to change only the dichoptic presentation of, among the first image and the second image, an image output in correspondence to the eye with strabismus, based on the acquired visual information, to perform a training, and
• wherein the visual information includes information on whether strabismus is present in a left eye and a right eye of the test subject, a strabismus angle that is information on a strabismus degree, and information on a three-dimensional sense,
• wherein the control module is configured to measure the three-dimensional sense of the test subject by receiving a response to a stimulus that causes a three-dimensional sense in the first display and the second display for the dichoptic presentation, and receiving a response to whether a direction of the three-dimensional sense is concave or convex with respect to the stimulus that causes the three-dimensional sense.
