Methods and systems for evaluating visual discomfort in users with eye strain sensitivity using virtual reality

A virtual reality (VR) system for evaluating visual discomfort in users with eye strain sensitivity, comprising:

• a high-resolution VR headset with eye-tracking sensors;
• one or more processors;
• and
• memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
• generating a VR user interface simulating visually demanding tasks;
• rendering the VR user interface on the VR headset;
• presenting a series of interactive scenarios in the VR environment;
• continuously monitoring eye movements and behavior during the scenarios;
• and
• evaluating the monitored data for indicators of eye strain and visual discomfort.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of an electronic device with a high-resolution VR headset with eye-tracking sensors, the one or more programs including instructions for:

• generating a VR user interface simulating visually demanding tasks;
• rendering the VR user interface on the VR headset;
• presenting a series of interactive scenarios in the VR environment;
• continuously monitoring eye movements and behavior during the scenarios;
